system failures and misrouting. Fasciitis achieved between a 40% and 90%

reduction to delayed mail and reduction in system maintenance resources.

Exposed cross functional bulk mailing issues and worked to resolve the

issue at one facility. I facilitated a cross functional cross location

maintenance and train accident and derailment arenas. Accomplishments

included a 90% reduction in the locomotive failure rate simultaneous with a

nearly 25% reduction in preventive maintenance expense. This result

brought about by the introduction of a disciplined maintenance program

focused on reduction in maintenance required events and a reduction in

ineffective locomotive maintenance activity. Similar results occurred in

the train accident and derailment function through improved problem solving

discipline. Led a cross functional team aimed at railcar and power

logistics and scheduling and resulted in improvement to rail car

utilization and power assignment performance.
