Continuous improvement, motivation, empowerment, production quality aren’t just buzzwords to me – they’re values I express every day at work. As a Production Manager, I take great pride in coaching and empowering teams to work to high standards. My experience in leading, motivating and managing the performance of teams combined with a proven track record in driving processes and systems into daily standardized work practices has earned me the reputation as someone who drives towards operational excellence. I now have nearly 16 years’ experience in running assembly lines and large-scale engineering operations with up to 70 staff, both permanent and temporary. The Bentley Production Systems philosophy guides me in forging continuous improvements to all aspects of production and in taking on challenges, such as introducing new lines.Not only do I possess extensive experience within the Automotive Manufacturing industry, I have a unique set of transferable skills which I believe add to my value as a team player and leader with any organization.  Key achievements Analysis: Improved the Bill of Materials list for a model, removing excess, obsolete parts and reducing costsNew Processes: Set up, without relevant previous experience, a function covering processes, process layout,H&S, people, training, machinery identification and installation, now unchanged for the last 5 yearsOperations: Boosted OTIF delivery improved from 33% to 95%+, slashed DPV from 6 to sub 1 a dayReduced overtime worked hours down from exceeding overtime budget to being within budgetProject Delivery: Seamlessly delivered five next generation projects into production, on-time, to budgetPersonal Mgmt.: Improved employee satisfaction from 45% to 82% through empowerment and communicationTraining: Mentored three individuals into team leader positions and two into Production Manager roles
