I am a detail oriented and results-driven management professional with experience in LEAN manufacturing, and am passionate about planning and executing projects that exceed customer expectations. I strategically develop teams by both understanding and leveraging individual talents in a way that fosters more effective collaboration as well as personal and professional growth.I fell in love with the product development process in high school as a founding member of our FIRST Robotics Competition team, because of the opportunity it gave me to work with and learn from my father as a team mentor. This passion has helped me succeed in manufacturing management, where I have been able to use process engineering to improve equipment, productivity, and safety for employees on multiple projects.Key successes:• Established and maintained operational efficiency standards in several departments by monitoring and managing according to P&L statements on a weekly basis, reducing consistent under-allocation by 90%, resulting in being within 2% of targeted net-zero allocation. – UFPI• Collaborated with process engineers at other facilities to define packaging standards for bulk composite decking and special-order distribution, resulting in annual six figure savings on damage claims. – UFPI• Worked with national sales to define and standardize a scalable bulk distribution program for a growing product line. - UFPIKey skills/attributes:Production Manager | Operations management | LEAN manufacturing | Continuous improvement | Process engineering | Manufacturing engineering | Project management | Program management | Product development | Sustainability | Integrity | Technical writing | Interpersonal communication | Collaboration | Strategic thinking | Team building | MentoringPlease contact me at JP.Huard@gmail.com
