Restructured the entire Purchasing System and how daily Purchasing takes

place. I order every thing for use in the shop as well as in the field,

anything from nuts & bolts to outside services. I restructured the

Inventory Control system to make it easier for Production and the

assemblers to do their jobs. I took control of Quality Control and

Receiving departments. Cut turn around time from weeks to hours. Product

available same day it arrives now. Also updated RGA system where ALL RGA'S

are handled within 72 hours of receipt. Prior to this you were looking at

up to 6 months for this to occur. This has aided the sales department

greatly. In the past they would quote product availability as two to three

weeks now it is when you want it. Turn around on product is within 24 hours

or we can ship the same day ordered.
