Managed, scheduled and delegated day to day operations of, production/KPI, inbound receiving, orders management, inventory control, supply chain management, staffing requirements, payroll, safety, and outbound shipping. I assisted in phenomenal growth, increasing revenues from $8,000,000.00 in 2001 to over $58,000,000.00 in 2009, by strategic planning, project scheduling and layout of facility expanding from 66,000 square feet to 196,000 square feet. I was directly involved with the implementation and customization of the WMS software system, allowing me to manage/monitor, staff requirements and performance, production needed, and orders placed. Resulting in decreasing turn around times from 9 days down to 2 days, an 85% decline in overtime needs and increased order accuracy. Trained associates to use the WMS system, and maintained the operating integrity of the system. I was responsible for the development / implementation of a cycle counting program with the new WMS system allowing for ½ % inventory variance annually. Through price negotiation and inovative packaging I was able to cut our packaging cost by 16% annually. I managed facility maintenance and P.M. on equipment. Under my supervision was the Quality Assurance Department where I implemented the random inspection program of inbound products to insure the AQL met company standards. Insured employee safety met OSHA/MOSHA requirements of a core team of 45 employees.
