Production And Inventory Control ManagerKadant Solutions Jan 2016 - Jul 2017Auburn, MaKadant Solutions is a job shop manufacturing business focused on products for the paper making industry. The Auburn site produces Doctoring, Forming, Filtration ad Cleaning Systems. Providing customers engineered solutions to improve and extend the paper making processes.The manager I was reporting to received a promotion to the corporate office and created this role to work Closely with the new Supply Chain Manager. He and I focused on improving our inventory accuracy and reducing the reserved expense for the site. I had the main task of addressing the day to day details of production scheduling and on time delivery KPI's. I was able to move the performance in this area up to 98.5% on-time delivery.Inventory accuracy reached 99.3% and the inventory reserve was slashed by over $475,000. The population for reserved items was reduced by over 1,300 items by conversion to active items, targeted selling to select customers and disposal. The reduction had a factor in improving the inventory cycle count accuracy. I lead a Kaizen event that lead to the rearrangement of the stockroom to increase storage locations, improve visibility/ergonomics. Four minutes on average were removed from the pick/replenishment times using the sweet zone for inventory and moving active items closer to the front of the stockroom.

Production ManagerKadant Solutions Dec 2012 - Jan 2016Auburn, MaThe position was created to delegate the daily manufacturing operations from the Vice President. The company was in a growth spurt and I was recognized for having diverse skills in machining, capacity planning, mentoring and attention to the details the system data provided.Capacity was a major issue. Plans were created and implemented to increase capacity through additional work shifts. Staffing for skilled machinists was always a challenge. I developed skills testing to reduce the population of applicants and find the best fit for the organization. Many of those hired are still with the company today. Being a job shop environment our workers had to have skills developed to allow flexing of staff to where the work load was at the time, no one was ever bored. I'm proud to have been a major part of the team that provided the highest gross revenue quarter ever.

Manufacturing EngineerKadant Solutions Jul 2009 - Dec 2012Auburn, MaI was between jobs and an old friend who knew of my skills brought me into the company to assist with the migration of product and equipment from a plant being consolidated into the Auburn site.With my sleeves rolled up, I worked along side the machinists at the closing plant and learned the products, processes and equipment. Transferring that knowledge into detailed written instructions that could easily be followed. Several of the employees that were brought on board at the Auburn site still refer to that information when called upon to run equipment they had not touched in months.Moving to the new site also required that the master work order routings and standards system data be migrated also into the Oracle ERP system. This was done manually over a short period of time. With all the details of the actual process and labor standards updated as required.During the move of product and equipment processes were fit into where ever there was an opening. After the dust settled I had the opportunity to lead several major Kaizen events, all lead to sizable reductions in cost and improvements in throughput.
