I have a proven record in analyzing, designing and executing supply chain strategies as well as leading cross-functional teams to achieve lean goals for inventory cost reduction while reducing shortages. Achieved multiple Outstanding Performance Awards from Materials Mgt and Production groups working for Boeing Commercial Airplanes. I am familiar with CNC machining, fabrication and production processes within an intense, schedule driven environment. In addition, managing an aerospace parts distribution company developed my skills at structuring inventory management processes to directly interface with Purchasing, Quality and Sales. Responsibility for budget control, working capital allotment and dynamic revenue streams gave me overall planning skills to manage a self-funded company. Team building, as well as training and development of individuals to meet company goals were the foundation of success. I can work under pressure, interface with diverse shop floor individuals as well as executive levels. Experienced with business environments where cultural sensitivity is paramount to achieving goals. As a distributor, the supply chain relationship is as important as the customer's and balancing the needs of both the only road to success. Please note that my professional references are primarily from executive levels of major suppliers like Alcoa and PCC. I am adaptable and a fast learner. If you are seeking a management team member that can hit the floor running and expects only success - I'm your guy.
