Profile:

I assure operational success and growth through the development,

integration and improvement of Supply Chain Management Systems through

leadership and collaboration with multi-functional entities. I have

extensive experience in both cellular and continuous process manufacturing

models. I also have cross functional experience in production, quality,

product development, human resources and financial auditing. Colleagues

recognize me for my skills in team leadership, problem solving, decision

making (as driven by data analysis or through deductive reasoning), hands-

on approach, and ability to establish and facilitate collaborative

relationships with both suppliers and customers.

Selected Accomplishments:

Integration and Implementation - Directed the development, augmentation and

integration of three materials organizations on both a site-specific and

global operational basis. Achieved and maintained cost reduction programs

in five Federal Signal materials departments in the Americas, Europe and

China.

Lean System Deployment - Successfully trained and implemented lean concepts

into three Lear facilities. During this time we were able to reduce

inventory on average of 28%, increase operational efficiency by 15%, reduce

premium freight by 82% and improve on time delivery to 99% at all

locations.

Developed Supplier Qualification, Rating, and Management processes -

Developed supplier guidelines, supplier assessments and on site audits for

training of the global supply chain; these process improvements resulted in

reducing costs and improving quality and on time delivery.

Cost reductions - Lead several Kaizen events that achieved reduction in

costs. The most successful of these events lead to one million dollars of

freight savings. This resulted in 51 milk runs being reduced to 38 along

with pickup times and dates were shifted to accommodate lean inventories.
