Work Experience

Plant Manager / General Manager : 2005 Present
Director of Molding Operations : 1996 to 2005
Molding Supervisor : 1993 to 1996
Molding Technician : 1989 to 1993 
Company Profile: Manufacturing operations in an ISO 9001 (& EN 46001), 70,000 sq ft plant plus a 30,000 sq ft
sterilization facility. Manufacturer of hundreds of SKUs for the healthcare industry, including custom items by specification. 
Job Profile:
Developed standard operating procedures (SOPs) using the ISO benchmark guidelines. Produced manufacturing
efficiencies by streamlining production tasks.
Monthly, serve on the Corrective Action, Preventative Action (CAPA)
Committee to review select manufacturing steps for addition opportunities for process improvement.
Accountable for P & L management. Judiciously analyze all operational costs including standard labor, overtime
labor, raw materials, and repairs, to maximize profitability. Calculate return-on-investment for the implementation of
new processes and/or technologies.
Tackled and accomplished reductions to the cost of production by applying the principles of SMED and LEAN
manufacturing concepts to each production center. Significant results were achieved, and continue to be maintained,
specifically related to a reduction of set up times, decreases in waste, and an uptick in the overall production pace— all without negatively affecting product quality. Also utilize Six Sigma methodology and SPC (Statistical Process Control) to maintain consistency in manufacturing quality.
As an integral member of the Design Control Committee, assist in the evaluation of potential new products and
revisions to existing products from a production feasibility standpoint. Additionally, conduct complex costing calculations based on labor expenses, raw material costs, operational “overhead,” and the amortization of machinery. These calculations and insights are used by the company president to make critical decisions regarding the pursuit of new products and/or the discontinuance of others.
Run weekly production meetings with key staff members to discuss production goals and challenges. Review
production on a daily basis to dovetail with desired inventory levels and sales forecasting. With regard to long-term production planning, redesigned and expanded the manufacturing floor to accommodate increased product demand. 
Source, select, and negotiate prices for all plant machinery. Collaborate with a part-time engineer in the modification or design of unique equipment.
Initiated and implemented a formalized professional development program encouraging all plant employees to learn new skills/equipment (cross-training) and reach productivity goals.
Conduct yearly, written, performance evaluations for management staff and authorize merit increases as
appropriate.
Walk the plant daily fostering a “connection” with all employees, promoting a sense of community, and evaluating
the work environment for fair and pleasant conditions. The facility benefits from low turnover of personnel, which is attributed, in part, to these practices.
Participate and respond to plant audits performed by an independent auditing body (BSI). Since 1996 (the time I
joined the senior management ranks), the plant has passed each and every audit.
Implement all OSHA requirements. Identify and rectify safety issues in need of attention.
Manage scheduled product validation activities and the accurate utilization of quality control software. Undertake and personally find solutions to many process deviations.
Frequently train managers and staff in the use of new equipment, particularly with regard to machinery I have had a role in designing.
Develop and implement preventative-maintenance programs and selectively purchase service contracts (many the
repairs I am able to accomplish myself). Troubleshoot machinery and equipment issues including electric, hydrolytic, and pneumatic problems. On occasion, I have independently rebuilt machines.
Conduct time studies on packaging to unearth issues related to aging, unused products.
Designed and brought to fruition an efficient warehouse layout (50,000 sq ft) for components and finished goods.
