To whom it may concern,

Please accept this resume for consideration for any available operations related position

you may be working to fill.

I have extensive experience in manufacturing and have held functional managerial

positions in engineering, quality, operations, maintenance, lean process engineering,

and product design. You will note in my resume significant accomplishments during

each experience, and a continual growth in my career. These opportunities have

allowed me experience in a variety of industries including wire & cable, industrial, truck,

automotive, medical, defense, aerospace, and machine tool.

I would like to highlight 3 specific examples that happened while I was working for Barry

Controls. Over the course of 7 months I rebuilt the Quality Management System to

cover two industrial standards (AS9100 & TS16949) covering multiple facilities and

passed both audits with zero findings. While I was leading the lean implementation I

was able to lead the team to reduce the changeover time of a key growth product from 8

hrs. to less than 30 minutes. The reduction in manufacturing time increased our market

share by 300%. I was responsible to lead the team to development of a culture focused

on safety. Over a 14 month period of time we were able to take the business to zero lost

time accidents, and actually began to focus exclusively on near misses.

I look forward to the opportunity to meet yourself and your team to further discuss any

current opportunities and how I may fit into the team to help the company continue its

success and growth.

Regards,

Jean-Pierre Bouchard
