Member of the continuous improvement team that held responsibility over three separate manufacturing facilities. I led Kaizen events to improve areas in manufacturing with identified weaknesses. Weaknesses being inefficient standard work procedure, excessive defects, under performing production, excessive changeover time, or based upon employee suggestions. Results were captured and presented to all levels of plant management along side the operators who were involved.
