OBJECTIVE: I am seeking a plant management opportunity in which I can use my talents

for organization and team building to help grow a factory into a world-class operation.

QUALIFICATIONS

I am goal-focused and an excellent organizer. I know how to meet budget

commitments and operate on tight time schedules. My current responsibilities

encompass all aspects of manufacturing from equipment evaluation through

installation, startup, and maintenance. I am responsible for a capital budget that

ranges from two to ten million dollars per year. Over the past 14 years I have

directed a team that has more than doubled our manufacturing output without

any increase in employee headcount. This has been accomplished using

product and process improvement tools such as Statistical Process Control, Six

Sigma, Kaizen, Continuous Improvement, and Lean manufacturing techniques.

Mechanical Emphasis, Marshall University, Huntington, WV
