Accomplishments

. IN 2014 FACILITATED PROBLEM SOLVING "TRAIN THE TRAINERS" TRAINING TO

CHAMPIONS OR TEAM LEADERS AS TRAINERS FOR THE ST. PAUL DIVISION. THIS

GROUP CONSISTED OF MANAGERS AND SUPERVISOR THAT WOULD TRAIN OTHER

ASSOCIATES USING THE 9 PROBLEM SOLVING STEPS AND TOOLS PROVIDED.

. 2014 collaborated with the maintenance team and the vendor of our die

lube equipment to build a central lube system. This system consisted of

two separate mixing reservoirs for the two different water and lube

mixture ratios used at our facility. The system would draw from a single

concentrate tank and deliver two separate lube ratios to eleven die cast

machines. Separates mixing tanks would no longer need to be mixed and

reduced downtime and waste of die lube. Tested and replace new style 024

nozzles on reciprocating equipment on our highest volume automotive job.

With new system and nozzles we were able to reduce die lube consumption

by volume to pounds of metal melted by 25% per years. Pay back for the

project was 1 year and showed consistent reductions that would carryon

year after year. Added benefits to the environment, safety and

cleanliness of the facility.

. June 2012 collaborated with human resources and production to build 3

shifts, 5 days within a 3 month time frame and reduce overtime. Then in

fall of 2015 with reduced sales and work force we were able to meet

budget constraints by adjustments back to 2 shifts splitting resources

onto 4 shifts, 5days, 2 Mon.- Thurs. and 2 Tues.- Fri. with a overlap Tue

- Thurs. to meet production needs. Keeping enough resources and the

reduction of overtime with benefits to run production needs on critical

capacity machines.

Additional Skills

. HANDYMAN SKILLS; MECHANICAL, CONSTRUCTION, ELECTRICAL WIRING, PLUMBING,

CARPENTRY AND WOOD WORKING.

. Work for a family friend and owner of Arp's Tree Service as a laborer for

couple summers during high school.
