RE: Position Available - Production Supervisor/Manager

I am a 34 year veteran of a tank car manufacturing facility which has

closed its doors as of June, 2008. During this time I improved both the

physical production process and the quality of the workforce that executed

that production. I desire quality in all I do and am confident in my

ability and knowledge of Fabrication and Manufacturing process.

Over the years I have become well-versed and obtained an overall knowledge

of the steel industry.

Through my efforts, both as a leader and as a team player, my previous

employer saved millions of dollars as a result of the projects I initiated

and participated in.

If you are contemplating changes or experimentation in any of your

manufacturing methods, I am a person who can plan the project, implement

it, and interpret the results in a straight-forward manner. I can make all

involved aware of the goals and understand results obtained, good or bad.

I believe that only in this manner can a production project be successfully

completed.

I played a lead role in the implementation of Lean Manufacturing at Union

Tank Car that brought many cost savings to our shop. Our shop was

unionized and I am well-versed in Discipline and Termination Law. Please

see my resume attached for a further list of achievements.

Sincerely,

Mike Sekulovski
