I have worked for years energetically improving the quality and productivity with major manufacturing companies. Recently, I spent two years as the VP of Operations for a OEM manufacturing company.  Because of my experience and “moving up through the ranks”, I adapt quickly to new environments, ideas, and styles, and I have managed many different personalities and nationalities. Here are some of my recent results:
Implemented Lean Manufacturing.
Reduced indirect force while maintaining out put.
Turned several operations from annual loss's into profitable business in less than a year each.
Had profitable operations in a variety of industries.
Turned several non-performing business units into profit centers.
Negotiated vendor contracts for the purchase of raw materials and finished commodities. On a recent $5,000,000.00 project, I                    negotiated material pricing to cut cost by 50% during a period of rising prices.
Turned a Heavy structural manufacturing facility into a profitable business unit.
Implemented a new MRP system in two facilities engaged in different product lines.
Coached and mentored future leaders.

I am a hands on Change Agent and Lean Leader. I am very direct and results oriented.

I have a reputation for getting the difficult jobs done; I am outgoing and like to be where the action is. I am organized, productive and eagerly take on difficult challenges.
I am seeking a new challenge where my innovative management talents can be applied. Your company seems to offer such a challenge, and my credentials fit well with your organizations requirements. I look forward to talking with you.
