record for leading continuous improvement initiatives. With my excellent leadership
skills and commitment to company objectives, I believe I would make an immediate
contribution to this company.
As my enclosed resume indicates, my background and experiences strongly match the

• Six sigma pilot projects leader

• Precision maintenance integration to improve flow and reduce equipment
failures
• Developed IR Routes to reduce downtime PM’s by as much as 90 man hours
per outage and identify corrective actions in time to properly plan.

material flow
With my demonstrated successes and proven ability to lead teams to accomplish pro-
active metrics and overall safety, I am confident I would be an asset to the company. To
