While I relieved the needs of each area, the company acquired a property with an existing four-story structure that had belonged to a hospital and was now abandoned. When the draft was developed, I proceeded to perform a comparison of prices for hiring the company that would develop the project in detail. I defined the final construction budget and schedule.

Position: INFRASTRUCTURE CHIEF: from 1/7/1998 – 31/12/1998

Achievements and Description of Responsibilities:

During this short period, I continued with all the responsibilities that were usually developed in my department. I was responsible for running about 300 new sites and 400 sites adaptations per year and simultaneously.

SAP Key user on projects in the area of Technology: the company began implementing SAP throughout the company in 1998. I was in charge of the implementation in the area of Technology. It lasted all year long. During that period, I redefined processes in the projects areas, network maintenance, logistics and asset management. New procedures were performed and employees were trained in the use of new management system. The next year, I kept on supporting the new management.

Position: INFRASTRUCTURE SUPERVISOR: from 1/9/1996 – 30/6/1998

Achievements and Description of Responsibilities:

Projects Budget Optimization: when I started in the management of infrastructure, the design of buildings was standard. For each type of structure, the same foundation was performed. The company always built the same slab for equipment and structures with large load capacity that was rarely required were mounted. Buildings cost was very high. I began to resize the slabs lowering the cost by half. I implemented a new procedure where you should make a study of soils and dimensioning the foundation of the structure for each site. These new costs were covered by the important savings generated in the design of foundations. I defined two structures types. One with low load capacity and another with high load capacity. With all of this, we could get a lower total cost by 30%.

General Technical Specifications: with slab resizing, the General Technical Specifications manual was born, covering all possible aspects of a building. In that way we could control the quality of the tasks with less subjectivity and easily. This updated document still is in use.

Budget control system for civil projects: I implemented an application for budget controlling with Access.

Design and construction of the first central building of the network, ECP Rosario: the most important network sites were called ECPs. An ECP contained a lot of equipment that were installed in containers. The company decided to build a facility to house all equipment and accompanied by an office building. So I developed the first ECP facilities in the city of Rosario. The project was done in time.

Benchmarking of structures in US factories: until 1997 only self-supporting structures and braced masts type were used. I developed a market study for the incorporation of monopole structures, visiting factories in Argentina and USA. Even a German factory offered their products. Finally, the new type of structures for facilities in cities with less visual impact and low load capacity was adopted.

Position: LOGISTICS SUPERVISOR: from 1/7/1995 – 30/8/1996

Achievements and Description of Responsibilities:

Responsible for the management of spare parts for CTI cellular network: I was in charge of receiving new parts requirements by those responsible for each radio base. Verification of the existence of replacements. Send replacements to the appropriate place. Control of warrants. Management repair of defective parts that were out of warrants. Purchasing of new spare parts. Development of a database system for managing spare parts management. Responsible for managing the service of power generators in operation at network sites. In this effort, I received from the cell owners of the radio base their requirements about fuel, repair and power generators change. I was also responsible for the purchase of new equipment to replace defective ones.

Responsible for the management of materials used in the construction of new sites, such as towers, masts, lights systems, lightning systems, cables, ice bridges, copper plates and grounding kits.

I carried out the inventory of materials under my responsibility. I continued replicating the improvements achieved with the spare parts but now applied to materials for new sites. I took 2 new employees for spare parts management. I made a manual procedures for materials management.

Position: LOGISTICS COORDINATOR: from 1/11/1994 – 30/6/1995

Achievements and Description of Responsibilities:

Responsible for the management of spare parts for CTI cellular network: I was in charge of receiving new parts requirements by those responsible for each radio base. Verification of the existence of replacements. Send replacements to the appropriate place. Verification status of guarantees. Management repair of defective parts that were out of warrants. Purchasing of new spare parts. Development of a database system for managing spare parts management. Responsible for managing the service of power generators in operation at network sites. In this effort, I received from the cell owners of the radio base their requirements about fuel, repair and power generators change. I was also responsible for the purchase of new equipment to replace defective ones.

When I arrived at the company, spare parts management was difficult to handle. First, the company came from a quick start and initial velocity for the development of the network produced a significant disorder and lack of control in relation to materials and processes. Second, the major suppliers were from different countries: from Harris, France; AT&T and Motorola, USA; Nokia, Finland; Mass, Australia. All of them with different procedures. Each employee and vendor used different processes to meet their responsibilities. The network grew and spare parts requirements were increasing and creating major problems in the quality of network service.

In this situation, I began taking an inventory of existing parts. I redefined processes and developed procedures for managing spare parts with a common application for requirements used over the whole country. The requirements were compared automatically with the existing stock. A list of deliveries and a list of parts to be purchased were generated. Statistically, I determined the rotation of each spare part and that data organized the amounts required to be purchased.

The Warehouse was relocated. At that time, I participated in the adoption of the new location and design of new facilities for the management of spare parts. Later, I managed the purchase and installation of new storage elements for spare parts and the subsequent relocation in the new Warehouse.
