OBJECTIVE: To help a company achieve its goals so that I can realize my full potential.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE

BLOCK CORP. MARCH 2008 TO FEB. 2009

INVENTORY CONTROL SUPERVISOR

Set up new methods and procedures for locating and retrieving over stock. Improved labeling

and sorting methods that increased accuracy and warehouse location efficiency. Set up

procedures to insure flow of stock to the proper area based on need. Set aside areas for temporary

storage so it could be retrieved quickly (it was accessible without the directional lift). Labeled

the warehouse with better identification. Shortened the distance from staging inbound stock to

locating stock, thereby increasing equipment efficiency. Set up queries on the AS400 to better

organize location lists for retrieval of stock. With these improvements we eliminated the need for

overtime resulting in a 30% reduction in labor and equipment and increased warehouse capacity

by 50%

.

REED MFG. CO. INC. APRIL 2000 TO MARCH 2008

RETAIL DISTRIBUTION MANAGER

Managed all aspects of our retail distribution center in Tupelo. We shipped clothing to two major

U.S. retailers and various independent retailers. It was a high volume pick pack warehouse. It

uses barcode scanning with radio frequency wands for case content verification.

I managed as many as 72 employees and shipped as many as 100,000 units per week. Used the

AS400 environment to allocate, receive and track all inventory. Extracted information from the

AS400 and imported it into Excel spreadsheets that I designed and built, for weekly and monthly

management reports. Reduced the inventory variance per year from 20,000 pair to less than 200

pair. I have used queries extensively on the AS400.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE (cont.)

VEND FOODS INC. DEC. 1989 TO APRIL 2000

FACILITY MANAGER

I was responsible for the building and grounds of our Tupelo facility. I managed all the

operations including the warehousing, purchasing, and receiving of all products. I managed a

commissary that produced all the fresh food. I also managed all the general office operations. I

helped set up and install a PC network that used a vending company software program.

When I managed the cafeterias I raised sales from $6,500,000.00 to $11.500, 000.00 by

introducing new products and offering more variety. I managed about 100 employees in 22

cafeterias that covered 3 shifts in some cases. I set up Excel spreadsheets that tracked cash sales

at the individual cafeterias so I could put emphasis on the ones with the most potential for

improvement. I also set up spreadsheets that accounted for all transactions in the money counting

room.

managed many types of cutting and spreading including computerized Gerber cutters. I ran a

parts department that included a zipper unit, an embroidery unit and a belt loop unit. I also held

positions in distribution and warehousing while at Bluebell.
