Description
Professional Summary During my 30+ year career in manufacturing I have managed or had leadership responsibilities in all sectors of manufacturing, facilities, and direct customer relations in traveling roles. I have achieved every aspect of management with tremendous success by style of leadership and the addition of "The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People" facilitator training certification which has proved extremely useful in associate communication. I am a "Hands-on" type of manager and I insist to know tasks are completed correctly and efficiently. I have been used in all these positions due to my proficiency in eliminating in-efficiencies, instilling procedures and processes, and the foresight to drive continuous improvement in a lean manufacturing environment. Position Objective With my vast experience I am comfortable in virtually all managerial roles of manufacturing, engineering, continuous improvement, process improvement, lean manufacturing, and maintenance. I feel I have an advantage in managing any of these areas due to my knowledge of all the other sections of manufacturing and how changes of one portion effects the whole process. This knowledge can only be obtained by experience in all areas of a manufacturing environment.
