June 2023 – Present
Consultant
I would do assessments for our clients and report back as to what I believe are the problem areas and what was needed to get things running again. In the past year I’ve worked as an SAP production scheduler, production supervisor, I’ve done 3 assessments where after the assessments where completed we got the contract to go in and get things back on track and running smoothly. As a Consultant I’ve been mainly working in the automotive field because of my 25 plus years of automotive experience in stamping, injection molding, and production I’ve been working with Tier 1 and Tier 2 suppliers but as you can read in my resume I can be used to help in in many other fields.
