Implemented and sustained lean, 5S, waste management principles and metrics system in the production facility resulting in reduced waste, increased productivity resulting in a cultural change within the organization. Recommended and executed process improvements and continuous improvement plans resulting in projected savings that exceeded $300K annually.

Reduced the unit cost of concrete mix by introducing Fly Ash into mix design resulting in a savings of 3 to 4 tons of cement daily.(2008) Reduced unit cost of concrete mix by introducing new chemical mixture, reducing cement content and blending aggregates resulting in a savings of 1 to 1.2 tons of cement per day. (2012) Implemented changes resulted in improved performance, quality and aesthetics of end product. Implemented a moisture and temperature control system for a concrete pipe batch mixer resulting in an 11% reduction of waste and a 5% improvement in overall department production efficiency.

Invented and managed several product implementations (handling device, stripping device, and a transportation solutions) within the pipe production business unit. Results of new devices improved overall department efficiency, reduced product breakage, reduced rework by 7% and resulted in FTE reduction. Focused continuing education to acquire, manage and maintain required certifications to qualify production facility as a certified plant and producer for certified specialty products.
