My resume is enclosed for your review.
Of particular note for you and the members of your team as you consider
this placement is my many years of expertise in facilities and maintenance
management, preventative maintenance programs, and implementation of
continuous improvement strategies. My training and experience involves a
broad range of manufacturing industries such as heavy machining, machine
tool rebuilding, injection molding, as well as blow molding, thermoforming
and work in the Naval nuclear program.
I completed a highly successful 4-year apprenticeship program at Puget
Sound Naval Shipyard graduating as a Journeyman Machinery Mechanic. After
gaining many years of valuable experience as a mechanic, I moved into
supervision/management. Most recently, I worked at Chestnut Ridge Beverage
Company in the position of Maintenance Manager, having oversight of all
plant maintenance operations to include: MRO Purchasing, Spare Parts,
Injection Molding, Blow Molding, Filling, and Packaging. Due to a plant
closure, I have entered into an employment search.
In advance, thank you for your time and attention. If I can provide you
with additional information that will be useful to you as you review my
qualifications, please feel free to contact me at the above phone number or
email address. I look forward to your response.
Regards,
Gene W.J. Turner

Key Projects & Achievements:
Responsible for the installation of two Husky's, one SBO 10, one Bekum
Extrusion Blow Molder, two mezzanines, two chillers, including all the
electrical, piping, tanks and pumps required for completion. These
projects were executed over a period of 10 months, and were all

MAINTENANCE SUPERVISOR, Kraftmaid Cabinet Company, Middlefield, OH

safety issues and personnel issues. Safety Committee Member.
Key Projects & Achievements:

downtime accounting and reporting. This implementation, when first
calculated, showed the total unscheduled downtime across all
departments to be in the range of 900+ hours per month. Within one
year of implementation, unscheduled downtime had fallen to
approximately 150 hours per month. Due to the size of the
organization, the maintenance department at that time was only tasked
with reducing the total number of unscheduled downtime hours.

MAINTENANCE MANAGER, Graham Packaging Company, Selah, WA
Blow Molding/Injection Molding Facility
1999 - 2000
Managed a team of 20 mechanics across 3 shifts of this 24/7 blow
molding plant. Ensured continuous compliance with AIB standards
throughout the facility. Prepared and reviewed annual budget for
facility repairs, maintenance, upgrades and improvements. Focal point
for installation and corrective maintenance of Sidel Blow molders,
Husky Injection Machines, Blow molding Wheel, facility, and all
support machinery equipment. Utilized MP2 and SAP Management Systems.
Key Projects & Achievements:
I implemented a mold cleaning process using a fabricated tank and
cleaning fluid, at an investment of $3,800.00 to the company.
Previously, the mold sets were being sent out for cleaning at a cost
of between $8,500.00 and $13,000 per set (depending on the number of
molds and size of the set). The mold cleaning process I implemented
allowed my mechanics to easily clean and inspect the molds in-house,
with substantial cost-savings to the company. The bottles produced
from the newly-cleaned mold sets were so clear, that the company
actually received complaints about bottles produced prior to the new
mold cleaning process!
FACILITIES & MAINTENANCE MANAGER, Furon Advanced Components, Seattle,
WA
Thermoforming/Composites Facility
1995 - 1999
Oversight of the facilities and maintenance department at this
thermoforming/machining facility. Ensure continuous compliance of
environmental/hazardous material concerns with the Fire Department,
Insurance Companies, Puget Sound Air Pollution Control Agency, and
Corporate Risk Management Program. Responsible for drafting and
implementation of first preventative maintenance schedules used by
Furon, using Turbo Maintenance Manager. Safety Committee member, with
oversight of compliance of all safety concerns throughout the
facility, with respect to OSHA, WISHA and ADA. Provided all facility-
related vendor contracting.
Key Projects & Achievements:
Responsible for the implementation of the first-ever Computerized
Maintenance Management System (Turbo Maintenance Manager) utilized by
Furon's Seattle division. This included setting up work orders,
preventative maintenance procedures, and predictive maintenance
procedures. This allowed the maintenance department to move from the
position of "fire-fighting" to a position of scheduled work-flow.
Unscheduled down-time dropped from a high of 126 hours per month to a
consistent range of 5-7 hours per month. Labor efficiency in the
maintenance department increased to such a degree that I was unable to
justify the cost of all four (4) mechanics in the department, and
ended up reducing my head count by 25%. Not only was production now
able to plan and execute scheduling in a reliable way, but the
maintenance department was now able to spend time upgrading, improving
and building reliability into the plant systems and processes. An
example of one process that I improved involved a liquid ring vacuum
pump, which provided vacuum for the composites curing ovens. By
engineering a closed-loop cooling water system, and investing
$8,500.00 in equipment and material, I was able to obtain direct
savings to the company of $36,000.00 per year.
