Selected Achievements . . .
• Reduced past due shipments backlog from $352,000 to $12,000 in four months adding 62% of an extra day
weekly by getting the new Master Scheduling system to recognize and schedule product families to avoid chasing
the demand curve and reduced set-up frequencies from 30 to 10 minutes.
• Decreased current inventory from $2.1 million to $1.1 million over a course of seven months after using the
Pareto method to assign time planning frequencies; looked at projected sales forecast and cost to sort the parts by
ABC analysis to achieve these results.
• Increased the inventory accuracy from 58% to 93% by developing a formal cycle-counting program that
brought awareness and importance to the whole organization.
• Discovered $1.2 million in obsolete inventory by using Six Sigma methodology that led to the implementation
of an Engineering Change Process.
• Developed and implemented a Kanban process realizing a 30% reduction in inventory from $175,000 to
$123,000 and eliminated stockouts after collecting the data related to the forecast and consumption history,
gathering a team of six into the project, in addition to discussing and addressing concerns.
• Turned a poor performing supplier to delivering 100% on-time following their previous rating of 30% on-
time by sharing data and mapping out processes offsite 800 miles away from the other team members on a Black
Belt project.
• Assigned to a failing store in which my team of nine and I increased sales by 41% after executing performance
and interactive based management techniques.
