Summary Project Management and Business Acumen
Able to define, communicate, and fulfill the project's goals and
break complex issues into manageable parts. Generated and
communicated time/machine schedules for the orderly completion
of projects. I have managed as many as 75-100 small projects at
any one time. Demonstrated performance has resulted in a
successful career and produced highly satisfied clients.

Demonstrated skilled in activity-based costing for projects that fell
outside of the various costing software packages available.
Costs generated were used variously in quoting projects to
clients. Experienced with the generation of direct and indirect
costs on a plant-wide basis. Gathered data on revenue for
forecasting future revenue surplus or shortfall. I also have
experience in the preparation of financial data tables for small
manufacturing businesses.
Estimating/Scheduling/Planning
Extensive experience in estimating cost and time for projects through
manufacturing process. Scheduled time and materials for
projects though various processes (kanban). Planned projects
from start to finish so that the most efficient use of machine
time and materials is achieved while meeting client's deadline,
quality expectation, and budget.
