● Established Standard Work initiative and Functional Integration Teams for safety, quality and throughput improvements to achieve cost per case target. Achieved lowest cost per case in 2015, beating the budget targeted cost.

● Awarded Continuous Improvement (CI) Plant of the Year in 2014 CSM BAKERY PRODUCTS NA, Oak Creek, Wisconsin 2003 - 2 011 TPM Coordinator

● Reduced setup time using Cellular Manufacturing. Went from 24 batches per shift to 30 per shift with this application.

● Initial year we saved $14 for every dollar of spend, second year we saved $11 for every dollar of spend. With increased capital deployment savings per dollar of spend settled in at 3:1.

● Reduced warehousing costs using Focus Improve Methodology, savings exceeding $80K in 2010.

● Improved “first pass quality” by 0.5% per year utilizing Root Cause Analysis, One Point Lessons and employee training manuals developed through the employees and supervisors who were engaged in this process through TPM activities. Focused on Critical to Quality components to go from 97.5% to 99.5% first pass quality.

UNILEVER BESTFOODS, Germantown, Wisconsin 2000 - 2 003 Production Supervisor

● Established 5S, Autonomous Maintenance and Lean activities for the plant. Trained employees and management on methodology and application.

● The plant was working their packaging department 24/7 due to capacity issues caused by bottle necks in the process. Removed bottle necks and ultimately the third shift was discontinued, and employees were absorbed into other departments.

● Improved startups using Autonomies Maintenance to achieve budgeted throughput. LAKE COUNTRY FOODS, Oconomowoc, Wisconsin 1999 - 2 000 Plant Superintendent

● Through supervisory/employee training and regular safety audits the safety culture of the plant was greatly improved. Using Autonomous Maintenance with the machine operators we were able to improve machine readiness on all work centers which translated into meeting budget each period. Prior to this the plant was over budget each period.

● Implemented the start of 5S, organizing work centers to reduce the "searching" for what was needed. One result of this was a "Superior" rating from AIB during a routine audit. BEATRICE CHEESE (ConAgra), Waukesha, Wisconsin 1988 - 1 999 Shift Manager

● During the plant startup, as a Sanitation Supervisor trained and developed sanitation personnel for the plant. Wrote SSOP's and accomplished HACCP training.

● Developed procedures leading to a significant reduction of BOD's for the plant. I was promoted to Production Supervisor and then to Shift Supervisor in short order. As the Shift Supervisor I was ultimately responsible for the plant operations involving over 90 employees. I was successful in building a functional team that was informed and effective in achieving the company goals at shift level.

● Developed training manuals for line employees detailing job responsibilities and laid out change over requirements resulting in a reduction in the change over time by 30 min SMED.

● Managed an ROI system for blend management giving LCF based on daily cost of materials. EDUCATION and TRAINING
