My ch arge was to implement "their first preventative maintenance program, help with effecting Safety and Ri sk program improvements" and develop/implement reorganization of manufacturing processes. "Process operations included- slitting operations, punch press forming and punch ing (2 ton to 100 ton), " "punch and die design and fabrication, machining (manual and CNC), resistance sp ot welding (manual and " "automated), annealing of metals, automated washing (ultrasonic), manual packagi ng and shipping." Key Accomplishments: "As top manufacturing supervisor, I was able to successfully institute a compreh ensive maintenance program," and a comprehensive safety/risk program. I quickly evolved to strictly focusing on manufacturing processes. "In my tenure, I re-engineered/re-organized each work center in the manufacturin g and shipping operations" "(from raw material warehouse functions, to shipping products out the door), inc luding the following projects:" 1 "Systematically re-organized 10 manufacturing work centers, incorporating Lean Theory, method " "changes, process flow layout, staff - fit and function. Through the result of these efforts, we " "realized an increase in manufacturing by 500% (across a 7 year period), and in the same period" we reduced staff/labor content by 40 to 60%. 2 "Instrumental in the design/development of a one of a kind automated, ultrason ic wash system" (99% of product processed through). Reduced required wash staff from 6 to 1. 3 Successful introduction of a new CNC lathe operation (to introduce a new produ ct line to our "existing clients, and potential to draw new clients).
