As the Printing and Shrink Sleeving Packaging Manager I focused on Safety, Team Building,

Machine Efficiencies, Employee Development, Quality control, Work with customers, Product

Development, Process Improvement and Development, Machinery Installations, Preventative

Maintenance Procedures. Work with customers and our graphics department to complete

customer proofs. Work with vendors to purchase departmental supplies, inks, blankets, spare

parts for both departments. I coordinated the installation of two new high speed Karlville shrink

sleeving production lines and new Polytype Printers. I was the project leader in the installation of

the new HVAC System for the Plant #2 project. I coordinated the movement and food safety

compliance of the shrink sleeving department from plant #1 to plant #2.

Printing and Printing Maintenance Supervisor

As the Printing Supervisor I also set annual standards, either maintaining or exceeding them

throughout the year. Increasing print quality and lowering scrap rates throughout the year. Work

with customers and our graphics department to complete customer proofs. Work with vendors to

purchase departmental supplies, inks, blankets, spare parts.

I completed a 180 page Technical Training Manual. The manual covers dry off-set printing,

process art, CMYK, art separations, plate making, operational functions of our printing presses,

step by step procedures for completing job / size changes, identifying defects and making the

proper adjustments, Departmental and Plant Safety and Procedures.

With weekly training classes for our technical staff, our machine efficiencies improved 15%

Set-up Printing Presses for Customer Proofs, while working with Graphics and the Customers to

meet and exceed the customer’s expectations.

My responsibilities were also to increase and maintain the reliable of the machinery within the

printing and packaging department. Track machine efficiencies, establishing action plans for the

under achieving machines, coordinate and complete these tasks with all available resources.

Prioritize and schedule all daily work assignments to the maintenance staff.

I set up the preventative maintenance program that encompassed of all machinery associated

within the printing department (dry off-set printers, silkscreen printers, digital ink jet printers, label

applicators, shrink banders, shrink sleevers, conveyors, conveying systems, auto wrappers, auto

box erectors, auto box tapers and all shop tools. This program was established by using the

OEM’s requirements, but tailoring the program to be plant specific, that would suit our

requirements and safety concerns.

I have written, instituted and tracked numerous ISO procedures. These procedures were task and

safety specific. I think that my most important achievement as the head of a department, was

that the printing maintenance department did not have a recordable injury for over 5 yrs.

I was responsible for the training, hiring and evaluations of all the maintenance staff.

I would establish the department’s budget annually. This included, labor, overtime, overhead and

all purchases. These items were tracked either, daily, weekly and discussed monthly at our FIN

review.

I was responsible for all departmental purchases. I would research the replacement component,

request the PO#, order the component, track the component, receive the component, stock the

component into inventory, and issue the component from inventory. Establish min-max levels and

insure FIFO protocol.

I created and completed numerous capex projects. Example: I designed and converted a Van

Dam 560 printer with the feeder system at the 12 o’clock position and Camco Indexer, to a 10:30

position and Heinz Indexer. This machine would only run a 16oz butter bowl at 310ppm. When

completed the machine would run at 500ppm. The ROI was less than 2 months.
