EMPLOYMENT HISTORY
Paltronics, Inc. (2004 through 2010)
Corporate Office
1145 Paltronics Ct.
Crystal Lake, IL 60014
Company Profile: Manufacturer of electronic gaming peripherals and media
systems and software for the casino and slot machine industry.
INVENTORY CONTROL/SHIPPING MANAGER - Responsibilities included control of
multiple inventory sites which were Las Vegas stock and service
inventories, gaming laboratory stock for WMS, Bally, Konami, Ainsworth and
other OEM's. Managed the shipping department for both domestic and
international shipments (mostly UPS, Fedex, DHL and some LTL) and ordered
custom and standard packaging materials.
Additional responsibilities were;
Managed the purchasing of electronic PCB and board level components and
fabricated materials for approximately a year until a purchasing director
was hired to facilitate the flow of materials and manage current vendors.
I was still involved in assisting in sourcing of components per the request
of the VP of manufacturing. Assisted the controller and accounting
department with EOY information and reports for the auditing firms.
Bill of materials creation and modification for all products such as media
computer systems, PCB and board level components for release to
manufacturing or outsourcing.
MRP regeneration and shortage reports for the purchasing and manufacturing
departments.
Management of sales order processing and manufacturing order requirements
as well as managing staging for the manufacturing and shipping departments.
OEM product label design and product specification documentation.
Planning and hosting weekly Inventory/Production meetings with purchasing
and manufacturing managers
RESULTS: Initially, I was trained at the Paltronics HQ by Crestwood
Associates in the Microsoft Great Plains software part time while I was
still working at Oxy-Dry Corporation to improve consideration for
employment and to have an advantage when I was hired for the position. I
trained inventory control personnel in ISO standards, Microsoft Excel and
Word, added bin locations, separated non-conforming materials from stock,
set up a working RMA system for fabricated and non-fabricated items. I
also was involved with the implementation of the Great Plains software and
structuring and entering the database.
In November of 2004, just seven months after starting the position, I
managed the movement of the four million dollar inventory to a new building
and achieved this in one Saturday. Also included in this was the setup of
the entire network terminals system used in the shipping and inventory
control departments allowing for "business as usual" on Monday. In the
weeks prior to the move, I created a three dimensional drawing of the setup
of the new stockroom and shipping departments in the new building with all
inventory locations. Along with sequential instruction to personnel,
"chalking out" dimensions and locations, the floor plan drawing was the key
to getting all of the shelving and racks in the correct areas quickly and
efficiently.
I instated controls for internal movement of materials for engineering
research and development, sales demo systems and for show setups such as
G2E, NIGA and Southern Gaming. Also introduced and assisted with ISO9000
corrective action and quality assurance systems for inventory and
manufacturing.

and installed networked PC's in place of standard terminals. Trained

and stock parts during a temporary vacancy of the purchasing manager's
