(Close to 80 plants in 23 states)Base lining operations and working within those acumens to create a culture of continuous improvement. The team also had responsibility to generate and approve capital expenditures, acquisitions, consolidations and to also manage improvement projects and outside services.Efficiency improvements, and cost reduction lead to a competitive edge that grew market share by being the low-cost producer. This process helped to improve market share and improve margins. This was and still is an investment that is often scrutinized so returns are carefully analyzed. The team worked hard to constantly identify improvement opportunities. Opportunities were identified with the use of Value stream Mapping and process flow analysis.Identifying the steps is a key function of operational excellence to the point in which each and every employee can identify with the flow of the operation and to see the value all the way to the customer.
