As Operations Manager for the Sensors & Instruments Business Unit, I successfully advanced the Lean transformation of BU and built a sustainable Lean/CI/OpEx culture in order to drive year over year improvement of key performance metrics such as FPY, OTD and Productivity while increasing employee engagement and morale.I did this by being a servant leader, teacher, coach, mentor and evangelist for Lean/CI. Supporting and developing people in my organization to be high performance leaders and contributors by teaching them Lean Tools, teaching and implementing a Lean Management system to sustain improvements and drive further CI, and ultimately changing employees core philosophy about their work and empowering them to make improvements. This resulted in a sustainable cultural change that spread beyond my BU and influenced other parts of the organization.I took initiative and successfully influenced the overall company vision and strategies towards the goal of operational excellence and I was the primary driver/contributor for some of the key tactics of that strategy, such as the development of company-wide Lean fundamentals training curriculum, selection and development of a team of trainers, and training of all employees.
