Seeking a challenging career in an esteemed organization to grow professionally by strengthening my technical and analytical skills, earning good reputation with whom I work, always keeping in mind the goals of the organization as the prime objective

Current Employment

Assistant Production Supervisor

Maxwell Hardwood Flooring

Monticello AR

October 1st 2020- Present

Supervision Responsibilities

Maintenance Planners

Fire Protection

Boiler Operations

All 3rd party PM contractors and all non-outage contractor projects.

All Lube Tech and Operator PM”s and Inspections

Oversee Millwright Apprenticeship Program and Testing

Job Accomplishments

Implemented and Revised All Operator PM Inspections and assigned Lubrication Schedules to all Mill operators.

Created a video library for overall general training for millwrights and electricians.

Sawmill Downtime decreased 42% from June 2016 to June 2017 due to a team effort, morale boosting, collaboration with production supervision, engineering changes and updated and created PM programs.

Took Over Boiler Operations March 2017.

Attend Annual PM and Reliability Seminars Annually

Attend Annual Supervisory Training Courses (1-2 day)

Developed 26 S.O.P. Power Points on Maintenance related practices

Introduced downtime database for all departments and solely maintained its data entry and all reports

Created a excel based Database called “Postworx” that is meant to capture non-work order related

Activity that was not being recorded for the purpose of machine life expectancy, ownership of work practices and other “mill running’ information. It had an easy to use User Interface that would save data entry on another sheet. I also tied the Plant BOM into the database so finding part type and location time would be reduced.

Unfortunately, I was dismissed from employment with Potlatch due to added pressure to increase production after large merger with 3 other sawmills, the other mills were producing more with less personnel.
