My goal is to extend the Supply Chain and Operations skill set that I have developed at Rohm and Haas, Dow and Houghton into new diverse areas or industries. Prior industries and technologies served include acrylic monomers and polymers; metal working fluids and allied chemistries, polyurethane foam for mattresses, etc, specialty silicones for medical and aerospace, and specialty battery storage for defense, and industrial storage.• Proven ability to take Supply Chain and Manufacturing concepts and theory and bring them into real world situations to deliver real world values in an operating or business environment.• Implemented enterprise-wide planning systems in an MRP-II business improvement effort, developed inventory cycle analysis tools, employed Theory of Constraints, Total Cycle Time, and Reliability-Centered Maintenance methods to increase production/sales and to improve inventory turns.• Responsible for a multi-billion dollar global supply chain with very high service requirements, deploying an active make/buy/sell process to deliver lowest cash delivered cost and minimize capital expenses using a global network of purchases and exchanges. The most critical of these resulted in a 10 year, $1 billion dollar purchase agreement whose contract formation and negotiation I lead.• Managed global Capacity Roadmap process for a specialty polymers business balancing local commercial needs with global capital constraints and innovative logistics capabilities.Specialties: • Contract formation and negotiation• Make/buy analysis• MRP-II/Supply Chain Improvement Efforts• Manufacturing Management
