Lean Engineer responsible for all Lean initiatives, Kaizen Events, Process Improvements and Continuous Improvement Activities. I developed and managed our Lean System from the ground up. I also started our Lean Apprenticeship Program. We take 2-3 operating employees off the shop floor for 3-4 months of Lean training, skills and leadership development. These apprentices learn and apply these skills and methods to the shop floor during kaizen events and other continuous improvement projects. I have enjoyed exciting opportunities to travel extensively to PLP's subsidiary facilities and learn other cultures and how these cultures influence change. I have frequently been chosen by the Executive Management team to lead kaizen events and lean program development at our international operations in Mexico, South Africa, Canada, and Great Britain, as well as in our domestic operations in North Carolina, Ohio, and New Mexico. These assignments ranged from short term (1 week) to long term (3 months) lengths of stay at those facilities. I have hosted and shared lean concepts, training, and ideals with management representatives from 20 domestic and international PLP subsidiaries. Throughout every year, we host engineers, operations managers, plant managers, and managing directors at our Rogers facility.I am interested in all things related to Lean, Six Sigma, A3 Strategic planning, Change Mangement, Toyota Kata, and Training within Industry (TWI).
