Selected Achievements

Spearheaded equipment design improvements at Reichel, leading to customer

doubling purchases to $7M. Customer needed a new roofing laminator that

cost $3.5M, but did not like Reichel's design. Revamped laminator's

structure, increasing its productivity and reducing number of operators

needed to run it. Sold unit along with accessories and materials to

customer. Established new design as industry gold standard.

Thoroughly re-worked package wrapper at PABCO, reversing declining sales.

Roofing shingle sales were declining 5-7% annually because poorly designed

outer packaging detracted from product quality appearance. Redesigned

package manufacturing, including purchasing better line equipment. Year one

sales increased 2%.

Replaced shingle raw material at GAF, vastly reducing product cost and

increasing quality. Displaced talc with new, heavier, and less expensive

sand that removed much of the dust and posed less health risk for workers.

Formulated better product that eliminated environmental risk in the plant

and cost substantially less to produce.

Developed new product measuring system for Reichel, minimizing waste and

increasing batch consistency. System for measuring roof shingle cut worked

poorly, resulting in large amounts of scrap. Replaced steel/chromed

measuring surface with polyurethaned rubber covering, eliminating cut

slippage and maintaining consistent batch-to-batch shingle length. Solution

was so effective, it was incorporated on all new and upgraded equipment.
