work was done consistently throughout the field.

o We looked at and redesigned systems to make them more maintainable and

safe for the maintenance personnel to perform maintenance activities.

o Enabled the savings of over 1 million dollars through these efforts.

Reduced the over all cost of service per hour from $8.17 to $6.01 in

the two years I was there.

o In addition reduced the parts usage from an average $120K per month to

approximately $80K per month.
