The past 18 years I have worked for a worldwide German OE automotive manufacturing company where I was involved in all operations taking the N.C. manufacturing facility of 1,000 employees producing 250,000 units/week with the worst reputation in the area to 450 employees producing 750,000 units/week to the best reputation and preferred employer in the area by implementing: * Lean Manufacturing techniques, Plant layout and Equipment Process Flow improvements, using Root Cause Analysis, 4M, 5-Why problem solving techniques, KPI management, Policy Procedure development, budget allocation, forecasting and team building, 5S, now 6S Program, along with Kan Ban Project Management to drive and track improvement projects while improving employee morale. * Our STUS HR KPI's are the best for all our global manufacturing locations for absenteeism, less than 2.5%, and turnover, less than 1%, recordable & LTA accidents taken to record low numbers. * Familiar with all 8 hour and 12 hours shift models and currently use both. * Reduced cost in group insurance from $5.5M to $3.3M annually and maintained that budget for years while not increasing employee premiums through creative plan designs and working with our (TPA) Third Party Administrators to lower costs. * Reduced Workers Comp expense from $2M to less than $200K per year. * Created a New 2025 HR vision now being implemented worldwide that is a clear visual picture to all employees/visitors that encompasses: Attraction, Recruitment, Orientation, Training/Development, Retention and Retirement to provide "A Great Place to Work" for all employees.
