EMPLOYMENT HISTORY

Paltronics, Inc. (2004 through 2010)

Corporate Office

1145 Paltronics Ct.

Crystal Lake, IL 60014

847-***-****

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.
