Supervised 20+ operators to maintain safety, attendance, operational discipline, and ProcessSafety Management standards.Meticulously investigated safety/environmental incidents and prepared accurate report offindings.Successfully guided improvement initiatives in scheduling and color system turnaround time,evidenced by more management oversight of delegated scheduling and turnaround timedecreased from 4.7 days to 3.5 days.Collaborated with the Union, HR, and management to determine adequate staffing levels tomeet production needs and fixed cost objectives.

Wilmington, Delaware

Directed implementation of improvement projects across business using Lean-Six Sigmamethodologies. Efficiently executed six projects resulting in $800 thousand hard savings.Worked in unison with multidisciplinary teams to effectively communicate Lean-Six Sigmamethodologies to complete projects.Served as mentor/instructor to Green Belt Candidate, resulting in $80 thousand soft savings.

Valdosta, Georgia

Skillfully Supervised and ensure safety of (20+) operators (DuPont and Contactor) acrossmultiple packaging-lines and shiftsActivity evaluated production activities, safety processes, and procedures to ensure thatworking conditions were safe, and provided suggestions for quality improvements and costcontrol.Successfully spearheaded continuous improvement projects in packaging line setup timereduction and production tracking system. These projects resulted in shorter changeovers(~$2.2 million soft savings) and accurate Uptime tacking and capacity unitization metrics.Actively collaborated with operators and maintenance to ensure the packaging lines producedat quoted capacity and to determine corrective actions when equipment failed or requiredrepairs. Increased production rates by 19% to 121% across products.
