Work Experience
May 1st 2008 to present:
Fairfield Aluminum Castings Co, Fairfield IA. I was hired on a contract basis as
Cost Reduction Manager. The goal set was to reduce annualized costs by
$240,000, and I had until the end of July to meet this goal. I was hired full
time on June 30th, as I had helped to generate an annualized savings of
$410,000.
May 1991 to September, 2007
Barker Wire Products, Keosauqua, IA. Decrease in sales due to international
competition caused downsizing and loss of jobs. I was hired as Production
Manager and promoted to Production/Quality Manager. I was responsible for
establishing weekly production schedules for over 60 staff in all departments. I
maintained records of inventory and prepared reports for monthly management
meetings. I audited manufacturing processes and procedures. I had the
responsibility for monitoring, graphing and reporting all quality, scrap and waste
costs each month. When I began, scrap was over 4.5% and we had averaged under
2% my last 2 years of employment. My time, methods and process flow studies
helped save the company money by reducing material handling and increasing
production.
My experiences also include human resource as I interviewed and hired all hourly
employee. I also have proven experience in inside sales and customer service and
have done and will continue to do whatever is needed to make my organization
successful.
