I coordinated multiple sectors while strengthening employee development with a team of four direct and 72 indirect employees. I conceived and executed capital projects and TPM systems. I also conducted continuous improvement programs and SPC. I skillfully managed a $5 million capital plan and devised a five-year expert investment strategy. I combined proper KPI implementation with adroit administration to reinforce the maintenance team’s focus on RCM and PCM programs. Furthermore, I generated a compensation system for technicians to match present market trends.I realized several breakthroughs in this position. I improved attainments by enhancing reliability and effectuating over 30% reduction in downtime. I also increased earnings by 5+% by co-leading a cross-functional team that used lean manufacturing principles to implement the Wornick Operating System. In 2019, I succeeded in obtaining the highest revenue and EBIDTA in company history.Senior Manager, TPM and Continuous Improvement (2018-2019)I introduced TPM and other internationally acclaimed systems and processes.
