  • The Coca-Cola Company
    Service Network Operations Manager
    The Coca-Cola Company Jan 2011 - May 2018
    Atlanta, Ga, Us
    Accountable for total-market service management of a $14M budget that generates over 43,000 service incidents yearly. Current market consists of Independent Coca-Cola bottlers: Abarta (Buffalo/Lehigh Valley/West Chester), Pottsville Coke and 10+ independent service providers.2012 year-end results include cost/call savings of $172k (revenue). Quality KBI’s increased: Fixed-Right-First-Visit: 2.7%, Completion Time < 12hrs: 2.6%; Quality Service Call: 12.11%. Cost savings and quality improvements were achieved by decreasing travel time, targeted tech training increasing efficiencies, and addressing van and warehouse parts stock deficiencies. Responsible for developing a process to have independent service providers install local market equipment for Coca-Cola. Traditionally, these installations were completed by our bottlers. Due to existing union issues in New Jersey, I identified a need to involve independent service providers in these installations. I led a team of cross-functional associates to develop this non-standard process for the company. This resulted in an independent service provider completing local market installations for the company. The process is under review and is the model to be used in other parts of the Coca-Cola system.Responsible for work audits, sales and service ride-alongs to ensure quality and adherence to company standards. Responsible to develop parts stocking lists that helped to increase quality SLA’s 3%.I was tasked with completing a large project for an end-user customer in a short period of time. Marketing had already been completed and the work had to be finished in-time for March Madness (NCAA). I tapped my independent service network for resources bringing-in outside assets. I also was creative with paying the technicians to accomplish the work quickly. I negotiated through delicate union issues. The result was completion of the project prior to March Madness and sales increase of 3.8% (measured in VPO).
