Dave Ofstein - Quality And Operations Executive Email & Phone Number

SummaryI am a senior level manager with extensive operations experience in quality management, customer care, manufacturing, regulatory compliance, technical service, engineering, and product development specializing in the plastics industry. About meWhat has driven my success is my affinity for plastics combined with my technical savvy and ability to build winning teams. I am known by senior executives as someone who can delivery results. For example, I led green-field startup of BOPP-type operation, creating manufacturing organization and training staff. I also improved performance by 43% with zero customer quality issues over the first three years of operation. My direct reports know me as a good coach and mentor, setting high expectations while giving support so they can succeed. When I was faced with an obsolete Quality Management System and no budget to replace it, I rallied my team and we successfully launched a new homegrown system in 6 months, realizing a $100,000 savings in software costs. Customers would say that I am responsive, supportive, and genuinely interested in building solid and long-term relationships. I have traveled to South America to meet with key customers to address roadblocks such as supply chain issues and lack of technical support and training. As a result, the stage is now set for 400% sales growth through 2020. Executives I work with would say I am technically-grounded, with a data-driven approach to solve problems. Recognizing that finding and classifying visual defects as one of the most challenging tasks production technicians face, I developed concept, secured capital funding and championed the effort to design and institute a state-of-the-art defect detection system. On track to deliver a $200,000 improvement in yield/yr.I have been a valued member of executive senior lead team.
