I am a believer in Lean Manufacturing and its disciplines. I have been very successful in developing “One Piece” flow processes resulting in reduced inventory, improved cash flow, improved quality (TS-16949), and more efficient labor utilization. I have managed plants and divisions up to 500 people. Manufacturing plants I have been responsible for have all improved their EBITDA and competitive market position.
