http://www.linkedin.com/pub/norman-todd-mcelrath/5b/31/41b Whatever it may be, I do all things for the glory of God. Quality, cost, and on time delivery are the three highest attributes a customer looks for in a supplier. I am eager to be a valued member of a team that prides itself in achieving these attributes. My goal is to apply my Lean Manufacturing experience to achieve faster turn time and fewer chances of error resulting in consistently high quality, on time deliveries. I desire to learn not only my duties, but the business as a whole so I can contribute to continuous improvements any way possible.
