Additional Info

I have excellent organization and managing skills. I have experienced in

maintenance managing, budgeting and planning. Manage from 30 to 270 personnel

in skills trade and production. I managed over $5M in capital projects. I

have spent the last 10 years focusing on learning the tools and methodology of

Continuous Improvement / LEAN / Six Sigma to provide additional benefits to my

employer and to allow a more efficient operation and higher quality standard.

I enjoy the challenge of looking for ways to improve the way we do things and

the reward of seeing these improvement benefit fellow colleagues and our

customers.

I am also an excellent candidate for a Production position since I have worked

closely with production and quality to implement process improvement projects

and cost saving programs. I have, especially in past two years, worked closely

with production and plant management to work in areas to improve the issues

causing low measurements in plant metrics/kpi's and come to learn different

detailed areas of the production requirements and processes. Also as a

Continuous Improvement Facilitator, I was working closely with production,

marketing, accounting and other 'non-maintenance' related areas.
