This letter is to inform you of my application for employment. I have outlined why my
experience from sales to Vice President of Operations and Project Management has qualified me as a
prime candidate for consideration.
My knowledge of process improvement, project management, supply chain management,
shipping and receiving, financial responsibilities and operations are the ideal combination for this
position. I have worked as a Project Manager with the largest hospital chain in Pennsylvania developing
a system which tracks over 80 major hospitals and their clinics. This system was designed to import
current/live information and benchmark it against a yearly collection of data to accurately display trends
in multiple areas and KPI’s. This information was used as a benchmark to drive and integrate purchasing,
production, personnel, marketing, sales, loss prevention and shipping in effort to achieve optimal cost
control.
As a change agent, I have utilized cost saving metrics such as: Cycle Time Reduction, Continuous
Improvement, TQM, TQC, ISO, Lean Six Sigma (currently certifying with ASQ as a Black Belt) and
Value Engineering Methodologies within all aspects of purchasing, inventory control, personnel
management and shipping and receiving and process development / improvement. Implementation of 100
day plans using SWOT analysis and roadmap solutions based on DMAIC methodologies to steer the
company toward improvement.
I have experience creating and maintaining budgets of approximately $100M while using holistic
and long term metrics in planning: cost centers, purchases, contractual agreements and future projections
of revenue, personnel and productivity.
Customer service has always been an integral part of my career, experienced in reviewing
contracts and follow ups to maintain consistent and cordial relations with customers, maintain a core role
in contractual agreements when term occurs or when contracting new customers. I am responsible for the
reconciliation of accounts receivables in excess of $100M and ensuring customers remit payment in a
timely fashion.
My experience ranges from: healthcare, engineering, manufacturing, sales, marketing and service;
giving me the necessary competencies to promote and advance this position. I would achieve this with my
quality and process acumen and my ability to analyze and adapt to any situation. My knowledge,
personality and drive are the ideal additions for this position and I look forward to hearing from you.
Thank you for your time and consideration,
Christopher James Earle
