Questions & Answers

What is my ideal role?

A leadership role where I can help others improve the processes; Materials Manager | Operations Manager | Plant Manager | Warehouse and Distribution.

Strengthsfinder confirmed my talent in seeing the big picture, seeing possible solutions, making visible and impactful improvements, and sharing knowledge with others.
I like engaging challenges!  Being fully engaged in my work is what I seek.
My abilities to clearly see what needs to be improved drives me to challenge and change processes. Being fulling engaged with big challenges and WOW transformation drives me.  

All cultures resist change, as the transformation cements  the voice of change to slow down. Without additional change champions and bigger adaptations my impact slows.

If the culture does not incorporate larger philosophies of Lean, APICS, and other variation and waste elimination principals the rate of change slows down.

I enjoy the turnaround and impactful improvements.  The bigger the challenge the more engaged and exciting I find the work.
How do I make changes?
By coaching others and allowing them to utilize their talents best.

Creating a team focusing on the "value add" in every process.

Main focuses are on integrity, communication, and simplifying.

My business knowledge and ERP/MRP Systems experience allow me to assist and improve teammates abilities to be successful.

Manage or Lead
Manage by exception (Visuals and ERP/MRP dashboards, KPIs, Business Intelligence reports.)

Lead through coaching, making tough decisions, and making proper changes to improve the organization.
