EXTENSIVE EXPERIENCE IN A MANUFACTURING ENVIRONMENT, COUPLED WITH WORK TEAM

COORDINATION, QUALITY ASSURANCE, AND JUST-IN-TIME PRODUCT DELIVERY

WORK EXPERIENCE

I have 30 years of automotive manufacturing experience with Chrysler

Corporation. I began my career as a Production Operator in 1978, advanced

to MIG Welding Technician, and then accepted a position as a Production

Supervisor. I recently worked as a Production Supervisor at Faurecia

Emissions Control and as a contractor for Kelly Services; I was a Final

Line and PDI Quality Supervisor for Auto Alliance (Ford/Mazda) in Flat

Rock, Michigan. I also have contractor experience working in the Quality

Department for General Motors at Lordstown Assembly, and as a Module Leader

at the John Deere Harvester Plant in Moline, Illinois.

I retired from Chrysler Corporation on November 30, 2008. I have worked in

manufacturing most of my career, and I am familiar with most aspects of the

production process. I believe that I would be an asset to your

organization because of my work history and education background. I will

appreciate the opportunity to meet and further discuss my qualifications.

I would like to thank you in advance for your consideration.
