Pharmaceutical Manufacturing

Manager of Materials Management (2007-Present)

Responsible for managing the purchasing, warehouse, logistics, and

production scheduling departments within an FDA regulated prescription

pharmaceutical manufacturing environment while supporting rapid business

growth over 30% in unit volume annually.

. Implemented process improvements and updated technical procedures

utilizing GMP (Good Manufacturing Practices) guidelines to ensure FDA

compliance resulting in no major audit findings through all audits

performed by the FDA, International Regulatory Bodies, ISO 13485

(medical device), as well as customer and partner exploratory audits.

. Restructured the purchasing department and implemented a strategic

vendor quoting and selection program reducing raw material costs

exceeding 20% annually as well as decreasing single source vendors,

decreasing lead times, and increasing vendor performance as well as

component quality through building positive vendor relationships.

. Implemented FDA compliant materials management and warehouse operation

systems while increasing the number of production facilities,

subcontractor locations, and warehouse sites to support an annual

sales rate over $68 million with an average inventory balance in

excess of $15 million located at multiple facilities and subcontractor

locations while maintaining an inventory cycle count accuracy of 99.8%

and therefore avoiding physical inventory count shutdowns.

30% increase in annual unit volume through the commercial production

facilities.

cause and cost benefit analysis have increased visibility, quality,

and performance throughout the supply chain and manufacturing areas.

. Developed process improvements within the International Cold Chain

Logistics program stabilizing ambient temperatures and reducing

temperature fluctuations during international transit therefore

reducing the risk of an out of tolerance temperature excursions that

could result in a multi-million dollar product loss and the loss of a

month long production cycle.

Colorado 1999-2007

Wireless / Electronic Device Manufacturing

Material Control Supervisor (2003-2007)

Stockroom Supervisor (1999-2003)

Managed the receiving, inventory storage, dispatch of materials, and

inventory control within three corporate departments.

. Initiated and managed an inventory control program for $3 million of

raw materials eliminating yearly weeklong closures for a physical

inventory process. This program included 3 functional areas and passed

regular accounting and Sarbanes-Oxley audits allowing a public

organization to acquire the business without performing a physical

inventory.

. Collaborated with Purchasing, Manufacturing and Document Control

departments in the development of lean supply chain processes

including, vendor-managed inventory, just in time processes, and

reorder point systems. This resulted in a reduction of average

inventory balances on these items down to a two-week supply versus the

previous two-month supply.

. Designed and implemented automated reorder point systems for raw

material subcontracting locations. This system ensured data integrity

and inventory accuracy along with reducing inventory levels to an

optimal one-week supply.

. Designed and analyzed performance reports for inventory assets,

receiving activity, inventory accuracy, obsolete inventory,

subcontract maintenance, and department efficiency. Utilized this data

to formulate process improvements and develop monthly key performance

indicator (KPI) reports.

. Led process improvement teams to determine root cause for work in

process inventory loss within manufacturing. This data was used to

focus 90% of the attention on the automated machine placement scrap

and machine setup issues. Employee incentives were created within this

process analysis program, which significantly reduced manufacturing

scrap.
