A stickler for superior performance, I was instrumental in developing and

executing productivity/quality improvements and cost control initiatives

for market leaders Hexion Specialty Chemicals and Kimberly Clark. I have

played a key role in fostering customer satisfaction to boost long-term

revenues, and my transferable skills include . . .

? Initiating cost-effective solutions to enhance overall

productivity/quality

? Collaborating across multiple departments to meet tight project

deadlines

? Utilizing root cause analysis to simplify and resolve complex problems

? Helping to make timely, high-caliber decisions

? Meeting internal and external customer requirements/expectations

A resourceful problem solver, I offer expertise in high-volume production

environments and employ a hands-on approach to improve long-term

performance. I earned a BS in Chemical Engineering from Pennsylvania State

University in addition to completing Microsoft Excel/Project, Six Sigma

Green Belt and Kepner Tregoe training.

Representative Accomplishments

Significantly improved reliability of equipment/controls, saving Hexion

Specialty Chemicals (HSC) millions of dollars. Aging manufacturing

equipment and controls were causing excessive process failures. Analyzed

historical process data as well as existing process parameters, virtually

eliminating down time.

Devised creative solution to increase production throughput. Faulty pump at

one HSC facility needed to be replaced, but there was no capital available.

Designed innovative by-pass solution, enabling system to remain functional

at times when pump required adjustment. Increased throughput 25% at minimal

additional cost.

Reduced production costs. Kimberly Clark was experiencing significant waste

in the production of a key product line. Developed tools to tack sources of

waste and worked with maintenance staff to adjust automatic manufacturing

controls. Cut waste by one per cent, adding $300K per year to the bottom

line.

Dramatically improved quality of major product line. Kimberly Clark's Scott

Towel line was not living up to its usual quality standards and customers

were complaining. Collaborated with production and quality teams,

conducting quality improvement tests and installing new equipment to reduce

customer complaints to a four-year record low.

Established standard procedures for product development, ensuring that

Kimberly Clark's new product lines consistently met internal/external

quality expectations. Company had none of these procedures in place.

Conducted extensive research and trials, creating standards adopted across

several plants producing promising new product.
