On a daily basis, I supported overall production plans and numerous corporate meetings and conference calls with Planners, Sales, Purchasing, and Marketing leaders. My role was also to govern raw material levels and all SAP/MES system functions. A couple of my key attributions included:• Successfully maintained 28 converting machines and +150 SKU’s, which consistently produced +700k finished goods cases on a monthly basis. • Coordinated production of 218” Voith Androit tissue machine, which achieved 100% of internal and external sales goals.As Production Planner from 2003 to 2004, I coordinated material levels, production targets, and SAP/MES system control to meet requirements of customer orders, projected forecasts, and monthly production plans. I also habitually maintained 14 converting machines and +80 SKU’s, which routinely generated +400k finished goods cases monthly.
