reduction, downtime and waste. I have assumed ownership and managed
multiple plant projects and Kaizen events to success using Lean Six Sigma
methodology, and thoroughly documenting project progress. Calculated and
tracked project savings. Presented and promoted project results to
employees, peers and upper leadership. Worked with department and facility
leaders to further the Lean Six Sigma deployment (i.e., teach Lean Six
Sigma principles, communicate deployment results, identify project
opportunities). Develop project ideas (i.e., fully investigate project
benefit and effort). Lead meetings to review and examine project
completion, obstacles, problem resolution, timelines, recommendations, and
conclusions. Assisted managers, supervisor, & employees with root cause
analysis and corrective action activities. Assisted Regional CI Managers
and executive management in the identification of improvement opportunities
through the use of pivot table analysis, COPQ and other sources of
information. Participated in company process improvement initiatives at
division and corporate levels as a trainer and facilitator. Partnered with
Operations Management to implement processes, methods, metrics and
procedures in effort to achieve operational excellence in quality and
productivity. Facilitated plant wide training of newly implemented standard
processes. Assisted other Continuous Improvement Managers throughout the
organization as needed.
I particularly enjoy a challenging environment where my decision-
making and problem-solving abilities can be best utilized toward the
achievement of both company and personal goals.
Since only a portion of all the elements of my experience and
capabilities can be presented on the following page, a personal interview
at your convenience would more fully enable you to evaluate my abilities.
