SUMMARY

Flexible and participative leader with 15+ years of production and manufacturing experience; out of the 15 years, I have 9+ years of production management, quality control, and inventory management. Experience directing the efforts up to 25+ personal to maintain and safeguard them and the company’s assets. Tactical planner who optimizes labor resources and budgetary funds that meet customers’ needs and deliver high quality services. Balance meticulous attention to quality and detail with a sense of urgency to get the job done on-time and meet production goals in a fast-paces environment, and at the same time keeping a collaborative team environment where each team member can succeed and play an active role in the production process. Well-versed in Lean/Six Sigma theory and operation.

ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Developed a very skilled working force and reduction of poor performing employees. Increased standards and regulations, as well as implemented polices in company hand book for hiring and training of employees. Developed excellent customer relationships and purchased new equipment. Established and effective maintenance program and a company manual. Reduced safety incidents by 100%-since I have been in this position we have had zero incidents. After identifying the root cause of safety and quality incidents; raised the team’s awareness and accountability. Improved quality assurance from 55% quality issues to only 3%- after collecting a year of data and putting the information in graphs and flow charts, helped identify the root cause of the product mistakes. I completely changed the training method of both new hires and cross training. I made training manuals for each work station, which includes visuals, details, and part numbers of each product. Drove high level of productivity-shipping large orders same day, employees meeting their weekly production goals, and little to no turn around. Creating and maintaining spreadsheets to report and analyze data- helped manage the inventory numbers and levels. By creating this, I was able to keep the inventory lever the lowest at the end of the year. Improved accurate inventory numbers by creating exception reports-having employees fill out an exceptions reports when they were low on a part or out of a part and could not make the finished good. This helped several issues with inventory.
