• Managed the transfer and production of product from one facility to multiple facilities allowing the closure of one facility generating a $12M savings.
• Generated $4.2M in savings in 2018, $5.5M in 2019, and $9.2M planned for 2020 across 6 manufacturing locations and the corporate office.
• Submitted over 110 designs for review by DNV and ABS in 2014 with 100% acceptance the first time.
• Doubled throughput in the Global Test Lab in the Subsea division.
• This was a complete turnaround challenge with the physical relocation of the business and staffing of Purchasing, Planning, Maintenance and Manufacturing Engineering Departments.
Increased sales from $500K to $4M per month with the implementation Syteline and a unique master scheduling algorithm to bolster supply chain performance.
• Implemented ISO-9001 in three months, start to finish.
Reduced past due orders from $3.5M to $100K and reduced aged past due from 3 years to 30 days with the implementation of an innovative master scheduling algorithm to improve supply chain performance.
Increases productivity by 30% in six months with this same algorithm coupled with several Lean Manufacturing initiatives stemming from kaizen events.
o Increased sales by 25% and gross profits by 22% in one year with a corporate wide training and standardization initiative on MRP best practices to improve supply chain performance.
o Reduced past due customer orders from $4M to $41K in less than one year with focus brought to production planning and sequencing in manufacturing.
o Increases productivity by 77% with Lean Manufacturing (5S projects and Kaizan events).
o Increased inventory turns from 3 to 6 with world class purchasing strategies to enhance supply chain timing.
• At a major weapons manufacturer, rationalized strategic plans and engineering/capital projects reducing expenditures by $4M in four months.
• Led training on lean manufacturing and six sigma techniques to senior management and implemented Kaizen and cellular manufacturing techniques throughout all manufacturing locations.
