. Developed a procedural manual along with screen prints on the complete
accountability of this position.
. Instituted a procedure with an in-house programmer to establish codes to
be keyed in customer account records in the AS400 system for special
handling and printing of the approximately 1000 monthly commission
checks. This new procedure substantially reduced the possible errors in
presorting the printed checks and streamlined the complete process
resulting in increased productivity and cost savings.

procedure, with in-house programmer, where soda price increases in the
