Robert (Bob) Madson

Employment status: I retired in April 2016 from the Boeing Company after thirty one years of service in the procurement organization.

Objective: I intend to employ my thirty one years of international supply-chain-management experience in the aerospace marketplace. I am looking for opportunities to utilize my years of procurement experience, knowledge and contacts.

Boeing Career History: from 1985 to 2016

I started my Boeing career in 1985 at Boeing Wichita. In 2006, during the Spirit buyout of Boeing Wichita, I transferred to Boeing in Washington State. After ten years in the northwest I retired in order to move back to Wichita in order to be near family.

With the exception of one year at Boeing as a Process Engineering Analyst I have always worked in Supplier Management as a Purchasing Agent (PA). For the majority of the last fifteen years of my Boeing career I was a grade four PA and was the lead PA in my respective groups. The roles and responsibilities of a PA have changed over the years as have the multitude of systems we worked in. Over the changing times I always maintained the dual role with contract and operations responsibilities which included supplier selection, RFQ solicitation, RFQ analysis, contract negotiations and award as well as working with my assigned suppliers with all daily activities as required to support aircraft production and maintain supplier adherence to contract requirements.

Boeing Career Details

September of 2006 I transferred from Boeing Wichita to Boeing (BCA) in Auburn, Washington. The first few years in Auburn I worked with the composite group analyzing, allocating and supplying all of the composite material from Toray to Boeing partners all over the world. My main focus was reporting and tracking buy to fly usages to all partners requiring composite materials for 787 aircraft production.

For the last seven years in Auburn I was working a combined Contracts / Operation PA role with forgings and castings suppliers. For five years I purchased from casting and forging suppliers and negotiate new and follow on contracts. In addition to a dual PA role I was also the group focal for all new castings. I coordinate with suppliers from early engineering concepts to finish product.
