Bullet Line Work Values

Daily Duties at Bullet Line:

Hired to build a manufacturing platform for this $100M firm via robust processes capable of sustaining excellent performance while growing organically at 30% per year with future plans to expand via acquisitions. Responsible for rapidly deploying process changes to improve the very lackluster state of productivity, quality and on-time shipment performance in this high volume (>500K pcs/day) manufacturing environment. Launched initiative to level load the plant and drive WIP down by up to 75%. Maximized Capital leverage by converting old printing machines to new applications and improved Parts-Per-Hour (PPH) from 250 to 1500, a 500% productivity improvement! Despite these dramatic improvements over five short months, sales fell far short of expectations and forced a new going-forward strategy based on much more modest growth prospects and resulted in termination of my contract.

What they like about Bullet Line:

You give high priority to hiring firms with prestige. Market reputation and prestige of a firm may be determined through on-line research, and conversations with individuals working in your target industry. Note that firms "in the public eye" receive a great deal more critical publicity and attention than those operating with more anonymity. So as you assess your employment opportunities, be sure to seek out the positive aspects of the firm's reputation in addition to noting negative publicity the company may have received.
