all levels.
SELECTED ACCOMPLISHMENTS FOR PARKWAY PLASTICS, INC.:
Implemented mold design services. Parkway did not offer mold design
services, driving clients costs up. Researched, identified and partnered
with two mold manufacturers and marketed services as a complete package.
Reduced client costs substantially, ensuring total package from design to
production and retaining key customers.
Improved efficiencies while reducing costs. Old equipment was incapable of
maintaining cycle time and exceeded maintenance budget. Delivered proposal
to BOD to replace two hydraulic machines with new, all-electric equipment.
Installed new equipment with 35% reduction in energy costs while increasing
production 25%.
Delivered contract under budget. Company was awarded a contract that
resulted in production forecasts that exceeded capacity. Selected by BOD to
oversee building expansion / new equipment purchases. Received Board
commendation for plant and equipment upgrades, completing contract three
months ahead of schedule and 10% under $2M budget.
Eliminated expedited shipping charges. Poor maintenance led to delays in
shipping products, resulting in additional $10K in expedited shipping fees.
Established performance metrics and reviewed daily. Realized 100% on-time
shipments for five consecutive years, eliminating additional costs.
Achieved ISO certification ahead of schedule. Company lacked a clear,
definable quality system, loosely following GM, Ford and Chrysler
standards. Recruited and hired QC Coordinator to achieve ISO9001/QS9000
certification within 12 months. Achieved certification in nine months,
three months earlier than projected.
