Support the inventory management system for the Department of Defense

Trained and mentored new programmers on systems and processes resulting in new programmers becoming productive is a short time frame. Tested a PLI compiler upgrade to correct inconsistencies with the new compiler and existing code resulting in a successful upgrade with minimal problems.Provided support coding for the IBM Warehouse Management System used for reverse logistics that resulting in one worldwide system reducing costs by utilizing one common system.Maintained, reported, researched and assigned to programmers the application problems as they occurred resulting in timely resolution and an informed management team.

Provided team lead support for the development of all batch and on-line programs within the IBM parts distribution accounting applications resulting in projects that were delivered on time and within budget.Designed and implemented a global PLI / DB2 accounting application that created entries for service parts to the IBM ledger that resulted in a more flexible, maintainable and cost effective system. Enhanced the performance of the IBM daily and monthly accounting batch process resulting in run time reduction of 25% daily and 20% monthly. Facilitated monthly education sessions for department personnel resulting in enhanced programmers' business and technical knowledge. Collaborated with parts accountants to analyze data and established the key methodology used in the parts accounting and parts pricing systems resulting in improved system's accuracy and cost effectiveness. Developed and implemented a 'dashboard' utilizing BRIOQuery to report key measurements. This resulted in increased accuracy and reduced labor costs.Developed key measurement package end user training program for users to understand all navigation within the application and required system connections resulting in a streamlined deployment process and minimal user errors.Gathered and organized global program requirements resulting in concise, accurate requirements and minimal rework.

Enhanced the IBM Parts Information Management System (PIMS) by developing programs using PLI, DB2 and CICS to support the accounting applications resulting in accurate efficient applications.Establish methodology to determine proper timing to scrap parts no longer required to support machines resulting in reduction of inventory and reduced warehousing cost.Coded and tested changes to the accounting applications for the IBM Parts Information Management System that enhanced the utilization, providing a system that was integrated world wide and eliminated multiple systems used locally within each country.Managed project documentation to ensure accurate completion of the IBM development cycle.
