Distinctive Accomplishments
Led turnaround of key processing plant. Alan Ritchey, a $20M USPS contractor, had slated an important regional facility for closure due to nine consecutive years of losses. Given six months to establish profitability, boosted overall efficiency and eliminated all contract labor, increasing overall productivity 40% while slashing $1M in annual costs to meet corporate objectives.
Directed successful plant re-engineering project. Ritcheys Richmond processing plant was poorly laid out, impeding throughput and profitability. Solicited feedback from supervisors and line employees, re-designing process, warehousing and recycling areas to gain a 25% productivity increase and $100K per year labor cost savings.
Generated significant bottom-line contribution with more effective inventory control. Coca Colas San Leandro facility had finished product inventory variance exceeding $500K. Directed team of analysts, identifying and fixing root cause of the problem. Gained $250K in net annual savings and prevented future high-value inventory losses.
Achieved dramatic improvement in safety performance. Local plants warehouse/transportation department had the worst safety performance among six facilities in Cokes West Business Unit. Initiated new plant-wide safety awareness program/reward system, cutting lost-time injuries by 60% per month with a net savings of $200K.
Overcame collective bargaining restrictions to boost productivity/slash overtime. Under Coca Colas existing union agreement, employees could not be held accountable for productivity standards and overtime was escalating. Exercising management prerogative to establish appropriate time measurements for specific job functions, achieved 50% productivity increase while lowering annual overtime costs by $150K.
Orchestrated successful consolidation of two operations into one state-of-the-art logistics facility. FedEx mandated that two San Francisco sites be merged to cut costs. Led multi-functional team in planning the leading-edge site at SFO. Optimized customer fulfillment rates by processing packages at a 25% higher rate and less cost.
