A $65M global commercial & military manufacturing facility based in a 400K sq ft modern facility with
400 employees
Director of Plant Operations (2010 2013)
Managed full P&L of a $65M operation and transformed it to process driven with predictable business
results by applying risk analysis, lean principles, cost controls, defining and improving business
processes, and creating a culture of information sharing, data driven decision making, and accountability.
Transition success measured by the following business and operational metrics:
Increased EBITDA to $65M, or 25%, and cash flow by reducing operating costs and work re
•
assignments.
• Improved customer satisfaction KPIs by applying state of the art Lean, Root cause and corrective
actions and TOC methodologies resulting to OTD >90% and OTQ 99% ; zero customer defects.
Reduced internal scrap rate by 45% for metallic and 20% in composites resulting to significant savings.
•
Reduced 75% discrepancies of C130J program by applying effective root cause analysis methodologies.
•
• Secured 100% detail parts flow for the C130J by performing end to end risk analysis and re
evaluating strategic outsourcing. Re engineered (3 D modeling) all 1200 parts for quick in house
fabrication capability.
• CAPEX : extrusion profiler machine; CATIA V5 upgrades 5 stations; r efurbished major
machines such as stretch former, semi auto riveting machine, H/T oven; doubled lay up area for
composites; & installed new anodizing line for 18 ft long parts for C130J.
Trained successfully ( >80% integration) 130 new mechanics to undertake C130J & F16 assembly loads.
•
Established lean lay out for F 16 assembly line with estimated savings of 10% of lost time.
