Known for achieving great fill rates, driving down costs, and ensuring on-time performance. MBA. Core competencies include: Logistics management. Routinely achieved cost reductions of $500M+ annually by setting productivity goals and enforcing performance standards. Eliminated production transfer constraint that allowed for increased productivity in both logistics and manufacturing. Technology adaptations such as production transfer auto stripping and auto conveyance netted savings of over $1MM annually at one site and $5MM across the division.  Quality management. Substantially reduced lost sales lost from “short shipping.” In Atlanta the $1.54MM in sales represented by the higher fill rate gained national recognition by the Senior Vice Presidents of marketing and sales. Developed a “clean design” storage rack adopted by all Purina warehouse operations. Partnered with customer logistics gaining recognition for modifying load sequencing to enhance customer unloading efficiency. Project management. Led capital projects that continue to fuel savings of millions of dollars annually. At Purina, became the first warehouse operation to expand their warehouse in 10 years; this led to expansions at five other Purina distribution centers. This became a critically important six years later, as it allowed the Purina operation to assimilate Nestle brand pet foods (Friskies and Alpo) into their operations following the acquisition by Nestle.Specialties: I am a Logistics Professional specializing in great fill rates, with on-time delivery at the lowest possible cost.
