●Lead the project management team in the company expansion, increasing our production capacity by 60% and our staff by more than 3x in 2018, compared to 2016.

●Created numerous SOP documents to evaluate and establish a baseline for training and operational efficiency. There were no Standard Operating Procedures in place before I started with the Company. This allowed for better customer lead times on orders as well as keeping better accountability of materials needed for production and purchasing.

●Created an in-depth training packet that follows employees throughout their employment to guarantee proper training and trainability.

●Created the companies very first skills-based assessment for verifying an employee’s knowledge, skills, abilities and other characteristics.

Before the specified pay per position was created the company was spending on average $120,000 monthly just on labor, since I devised a skills-based pay scale we average roughly $50,000 to $63,000 in monthly labor costs since the change, resulting in roughly a 50% savings monthly, and we are on track to save more than $600,000 this year.

●Created a safety program to ensure a safer environment for my staff by implementing CPR/AED training as well as Fire Extinguisher training. We recorded accidents whether they were close calls or specific injuries to bring awareness to everyone. We have gone as much as 367 days without a recordable incident.
