Process, Productivity and Cost Restructuring

  • Restructured incentives and process flows at an Industrial knife manufacturer to improve on-time performance from 30% to 95% and reduced lead-times from 11 weeks to a market competitive 4 weeks.
  • Productivity improvements at a Steel Tank manufacturer through many small semi-automatic tools.

Negotiations

  • Stepped in to assist management with contentious union negotiations prior to divestment on two occasions, both sucessful.

Safety

EH&S

I believe that EH&S management is both morally and operationally essential.

If you can not manage a plant safely what can you manage?

I am proud to say I have helped improve safety everywhere I have worked.

  • Developed a portfolio wide EH&S policy and program.
  • Rolled out to all portfolio companies within 23 months.
  • Have audited many industrial facilities from saw mills, paper mills to industrial manufacturers
