(Vincent Bach Div. Conn-Selmer, Inc. 2004 to 2009)

First Year cost reduction of $250,000. Raw, WIP and Supplies inventory reduction of

$1,000,000 same period. Implemented Lean Kaizen Environment.

(Grumman Olson Industries Incorporated 1999 to 2003; became Morgan Olson Corp.

2003 to 2004)

• Reduced raw material costs by $125,000 to $400,000 each year 1999 through 2002.

SLMS operations systems.

(Lear Corporation, Mendon 1997 to 1998)

• Designed, programmed and implemented a temporary Master Scheduling (Pull-System)

MRP system in a Linked Excel Format that provided efficient operations while JBA

operating system was being designed. This system significantly contributed to a 17 point

gain in the Ford Delivery Performance Rating. Over a five month period supplier

responsible transportation premiums were reduced by 80%. The re-design of inventory

flow, monitoring and storage systems resulted in a 20% reduction in inventory carrying

costs for the Plastics Division.

• Responsible for the certification and implementation of portions of QS9000 and

MS9000 control systems. Full site certification on both systems was awarded and secured

in a period of four months.

• Managed a "Green-Field" plant launch and succeeded in commissioning one line/one

product production in seven weeks from first equipment delivery to first production of

product.

• Added additional equipment and products and the plant became profitable in less than

the goal 24 months from conception.

• Secured and maintained a $4.5 million State grant for the initial plant funding for this

34 employee company.

(AutoAlliance~Ford Motor Company 1986 to 1995 )

• Improved system design and implemented Material Management and Manning systems

to the plant Gate-Line departments of Stamping and Body Assembly. Integrated these

systems through subsequent departments to the pay point, completing an effective

centrally controllable plant MRP/LEAN PULL system.

• Coordinated procurement, facilities, processes and assembly to accomplish pilot build

timing; both major and minor model changes.

• Programmed central facility control computer, Series 1 IBM 5500. Created and

maintained broadcast system to assure assembly accuracy and the controlled and timely

implementation of engineering changes.

• Hired and trained staff to achieve demanding launch and ramp-up schedules.

• Scheduled daily production, coordinated material and supply item procurement to

minimize inventory and improve cash flow in monthly variable cost centers.

• Designed process tooling modifications to reduce line cycle time, improve ergonomics

and meet torque certification and safety requirements.

• Controlled capital assets (equipment and tooling) to maximize depreciation and comply

with retirement tax regulations.

• Reduced scrap and cycle loss by 60% using root cause analysis and counter measure

activity initiated from "Cost Kaizen" (continuous improvement) management.

• Improved Manning efficiency in Material Handling 10% by performing time study and

stack chart analysis; yielding a line balance efficiency greater than 90%.
