📧 pfmierke@gmail.com 📲 912-441-2760🏆 Received Georgia Manufacturer of the Year Award🥇Awarded Numerous Military Commendation and Achievement MedalsMy 20+ year career trajectory is hallmarked with solid experience as a manufacturing logistics/operations leader. Having worked for industry giants such as Mitsubishi Hitachi Power Systems America (MHPSA), GE Energy, and the U.S. Navy, I have driven and transformed global operations involving import, export, and all transportation modes (air, sea, truck rail, and barge).Throughout my career history, I have consistently earned a distinguished record as a champion for continuous improvement. My value as a supply chain/operations leader stems from my track record for successfully introducing and infusing the culture with Lean methodology while surpassing industry metrics for safety, quality standards, on-time delivery, and production costs.Recently, as GM for MHPSA, I drove down costs by hundreds of thousands of dollars by taking proactive measures to realign the organization’s manufacturing, engineering, warehousing, and logistics operations. By implementing Lean processes, we decreased operating costs and reduced delivery time while greatly improving quality. And, to stave ongoing attrition, I introduced a leadership development program to build a strong talent bench.With a focus on delivering ROI, my overall mission is to enable growth and transformation while unifying team members through shared purpose, common vision, and a passion for delivering excellence. I take pride in being a servant leader who ignites passion and commitment to excellence as a role model to the management and labor workforce.If you are seeking an Operations Executive to materialize your organization’s vision and growth goals, please connect with me on LinkedIn.✪ KEY PERFORMANCE ACHIEVEMENTS:SAFETY: Reduced incidence rate of injuries YOY, exceeding the industry average.QUALITY: Decreased rework costs from $530K to $111K in 3 years.DELIVERY: Improved delivery from less than 90% to 99.5% over 5 years.SAVINGS: Lowered YOY cost of quality from $1.5M to less than $200K.CULTURE: Fostered cultural transformation, spearheading talent development initiatives and championing diversity.✪ EXPERTISE:✓ P&L Management ✓ Manufacturing Operations ✓ Supply Chain ✓ Global Logistics ✓ Lean Manufacturing ✓ Six Sigma ✓ Kaizen ✓ Continuous Improvement ✓ Value Stream Mapping ✓ Team Management & Development ✓ Engineering ✓ Procurement ✓ Warehousing ✓ Sourcing
