Freeport Press - Bindery Manager

****- ****

Freeport Press is a Heat set Web printer specializing in short run publications and commercial

work. Since coming to Freeport Press I have reorganized the finishing department, reducing

the number of Stitcher operators needed from 16 people to 9 people. I have implemented

Training programs for the Folders and Stitchers and written SOP ’s for all finishing position and

operations. While reducing the number of personal I increased thru-put from less than 3500 per hour to

an overall average of 5200 per hour.

I have strong people skills as well as technical skills in operations and maintaining bindery

equipment. I have experience in developing training programs for various bindery equipment,

including Muller perfect binders and Stitchers, MBO and Staul folders.

Sprint Press - Bindery Supervisor

2005-2007

While at Sprint Press I reorganized the bindery from a 2 shift operation to a 3 shift operation

without adding additional personal. This allowed us the capacity to run machinery 24 hour a

day 5 days a week without adding overtime hours. Sprint Press is a high quality sheet- fed

commercial printer with as many as 150 jobs on the floor at any given time. At Sprint Press I developed

Procedures to reduce the number of defects to less than 1% and increase on time deliveries to a

consistent 98-100%

Write Printing - Bindery/ Digital Printing Manager

2002-2005

At Write Printing I was instrumental in creating a bindery department from scratch. It

consisted of three shifts with an emphasis on quality on time deliveries of various printed

products. I was involved in every facet of creating and managing this finishing dept including

inventory control and purchasing, developing work flow and training programs for all the

equipment. Write printing is a high quality sheet- fed commercial printer with as many as 150 jobs

on the floor at any given time. I have strong people skills as well as technical skills in operating and

maintaining bindery equipment.

E lmira APT - Stitcher Supervisor

1996-2002

Manage Stitcher Dept. It was at Elmira Litho that over a period of years I developed a

production strategy for the stitching department that consisted of tree shift and operated

with a minimum staff of one operator for two Stitchers. I was also involved in developing a

folder department that operated on the same principle, running three folders for one

operator. For this to work it was crucial to have a training program in place that included

operators and crew members.

Bushman Press

1993-1996

Set up and operate Muller Stitchers. While at Bushman Pres I set up training programs for

operating and maintaining Muller Stitchers. This training included training crew members as

well as new and existing operators .

B ig D Bindery/J. Ridley Lewis Co

1981-1991 (Family owned business)

While working in the family Business I worked closely with J. Ridlely Lewis in the Start up of

Big D Bindery developing Operating procedures and purchasing equipment.

I also worked on the developing and marking of the Roto-Crease Scoring machine which we

introduced to the printing industry.
