Dear Human Resource Hiring Manager:

Given my strengths in Manufacturing, Quality Control, Finance, and Operations with the proven experience in lean manufacturing, inventory control, production management, and operating performance analysis, I am confident you will find me well prepared to join your company in the role of Executive Manufacturing/ Operations Leader. Notably, I possess strong planning, organizational, prioritization, and leadership skills, along with an ability to leverage available resources, which enables me to ensure tasks are completed accurately, on time, and within budget.

Over the course of my career, I have

 Eliminated root cause for crankshaft undersize pin scrap by converting to water based coolant system.

 Reduced pin scrap by 99% and overall scrap costs in the area was reduced by 11%.

 Supervised a team of operators that ran a total of 38 operations in a demand pull environment that processed a Crankshaft from raw casting to finished Crank ready to be installed into an engine.

 Responsible for maintaining ISO standards and certification for the assigned manufacturing / assembly areas.

 Identified root cause for poor tool life on rough mills as excess material on raw casting. The reduction of incoming stock on raw castings yielded a net savings of $1.00 per casting while improving tool life on all rough mills by 100% and reducing tool cast in the area by 40%.

 Successfully implemented a lean manufacturing business model that helped Mack Avenue Engine Plant win Harbour awards for best in class HPU (Hours per Unit).

 Learned and mastered all Crankshaft Department machines assisting in high quality standards produced in the department.

 Created tip levels within the production process that allowed us to do maintenance on the machinery while meeting production goals.

 Eliminated excessive tool inventory on the floor, which limited departmental purchases of tooling that were not needed.

I am confident that your company could benefit from my broad range of experience and abilities, and I would appreciate the opportunity for a personal conversation. You may contact me as indicated above, and I look forward to your response. Thank you for your time and attention.

Sincerely,

Marcus E. Miller
