Want experience, less rhetoric, results and honest effort? I am too young to retire and too old to be hired in today’s market. I was recently retired by the Chinese partner of the company I have been providing cost improvement consulting expertise for over 17 years. I am interested in a position that utilizes my various positions and experiences. I have years of actual experience, skills and abilities which you may find useful and am prepared to provide assistance. My background and successful experiences qualify me for a variety of possible positions to assist in process improvement and more efficient financial management.
My last position required ISO experience, manufacturing expertise, problem solving, taking necessary corrective action, personal interactions, and making systems work - for quality, cost and improved labor effectiveness. Significant management experience, an association with Dr. Deming (father of statistical management), experience in process auditing in an industrial setting, hands-on experience in quality management and technical experiences have prepared me for successfully bringing operations, personnel, programs and the systems we work with into synergistic unity. I know how to get the maximum utilization of resources to work as a unit toward defined goals. My past tasks have included:
Savings of $186,000/month within 6 months at WorldPak Flexible Packaging LLC
Sales increase while implementing 84% manufacturing cost reduction at Sliger Designs
ISO certification attained within 2 years at CES Machine Products Inc
Was Consultant for Iowa University working with over 51 companies for improved results

Can furnish references as needed
My strategy is to inform you of my availability and hope you see the match between the skills possessed and a available position’s requirements. I would truly appreciate an opportunity for its mutually beneficial possibilities. Enclosed (also) below is my detailed resume, which provides a comprehensive summary of my experiences and achievements. Realizing that these cannot adequately communicate my personality or all the benefits I can provide, I look forward to an opportunity to communicate more personally on my behalf.
Sincerely,
Ferdinand Pane
