PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

Ansul Fire Protection (A part of Tyco international) (04/71 - present)

I began in operations and was there for the first 5 years. I have held

every position from operator, programmer, system programmer, through my

current position as business analyst/senior systems analyst.

. Was the lead for a team that put together the requirements for a new

sales order entry system. I took those needs, and with a developer

working under my direction, designed and wrote an on line real time

order entry system that has been being used for more than 15 years.

. As part of order entry I designed a shipping system that utilized

those orders to schedule shipping using time phased available to

promise. The team wrote the programs to perform the shipping using bar

code devices to speed up the process and reduce shipping errors.

. Created the technical methodology to ensure all in house programs

conformed to Y2K standards without any increase in staff. Used copy

books and system tools to eliminate all issues from causing any down

time in 2000. This was all done ahead of schedule.

. Brought in software and integrated it into our system for activities

such as E-mails and faxes directly from our core business system.

. Took our old MRP batch system and produced screens and data to give us

an on line real time inventory flow with lot tracking capabilities.

Transactions are captured via 3270 screens on hand held devices with

bar codes.

. Wrote the programs necessary to produce, on demand, bar code labels on

a Zebra printer using ZPL directly from a CICS Gener/OL program.

. Brought in EDI software on a PC and integrated it into the mainframe

to receive purchase orders from our distributors and be sent directly

to the mainframe to be copied into a sales order without and re-

keyboarding.

. Used EDI to send our shipping orders to remote field warehouses to

perform shipping. Then took the advance shipping notices from them to

update our sales orders to mark them for shipping and create the

invoice.

. In years past I was a systems programmer, and I still work as the

buffer between my current assignment and their outsourced systems

programmer. I identify problems to make sure where the responsibility

lies, who it is responsible for remediation, gather all information

and initiate the call to get the problem fixed.

. Helped with the procedures and requirements for disaster recovery.

Performed the first test with 100% success.

. About 75% of my recent development has been on line activities in

CICS.

. Wrote the security system for on-line transactions and the programs to

maintain it. Wrote procedures to enable us to pass the SOx audit.

. Web enabled the mainframe to allow vendors to verify receipt and

acceptance of purchase orders, as well as change their own contact in

our system. This is all done on an on line real time basis with E-

mails as information from us to notify them to look at the web site.

. Use a variety of tools and methods to get data to and from a PC

environment from and for the mainframe environment. This is done with

both manual and automated jobs or scripts.

. I fully understand the manufacturing process from purchasing to sales

and all aspects in between.

. I have never missed a deadline or been unable to turn a requirement

into a working solution.

. Provide on call support, 24x7.
