Operations Management

I specialize in the creation and management of business operations where tasks and milestones are achieved quickly, reliably, and at a significantly lower cost than before.
My entire focus is on improving profits as a result of improving the product delivery process. This includes both new and existing products and encompasses the entire supply chain from:

• Operations

• Production Planning

• Engineering

• Logistics

• Manufacturing

• Vendor performance (Strategic Sourcing)

• Distribution

My value is in achieving substantial improvements in:

• Lead times

• Operating margins

• Cost of Quality

To start out, I perform a capability audit where I end up diagnosing both evident and unseen opportunities for improvement and identifying these in a "Findings" report. This is followed by creating a no-risk environment within management for the discussion of the tough issues that are squelching profits.

Then it becomes time to expand the responsibility for profit generation and cost reduction to more than a few people in the organization and get everyone to focus on the welfare of the company as a whole instead of on individual departments.

Activities are continually tracked and monitored and PERFORMANCE METRICS are established.
