Winter 2000 to June 2005 (Hired at New Process Steel)

Position: 2nd shift

Shipping/Production/Maintenance Supervisor

Achievements: Improved operator errors in shipping

and production. Inbound and outbound shipments were improved that later led

to most trucking companies preferring to be loaded and/or unloaded during

2nd shift hours. I purchased my own walkie talkies and rechargeable

batteries to improve communications throughout plant. I spread radios to

all crane operators, fork truck drivers, slitting operators and leveling

operators. This great idea led to improved loading and unloading of trucks,

material spotting and staging, material transfers to machines, skid and

lumber transfers. No more lost times in all departments which led to

increased production on all 4 machines and their packaging lines.

Slitter Setup/Operations Consultant 2008 to most of 2009

I was offered a contract by Operations Plant Manager at Metal-Matic as a

Slitter Consultant but could not dedicate time requested due to working

full time at New Process Steel. I made a deal to go help on a "walk in

basis". I gave presentations to all crews on improvement ideas. Recognized

some issues and helped Plant Coordinator schedule equipment to be rebuilt.

Trained employees on mathematical formula procedures that would result in

error free setups and helped Plant Coordinator build micros excel spread

sheet that would help build proper accurate setups for crews. I was

complimented by crews and Operations Plant Manager on slit edge quality of

stock coils waiting for further processing in tube mills. I was unable to

go back due to a serious decline in sales orders at my current job (New

Process Steel) and was scheduled 2pm to 2am.
