15. Examples of my Successes Revamped shipping procedures Problem solving manuals I asked the top operators on my team to help me put together a manual of all the most common problems and solutions on the folders. We added photographs and drawings for clarity. This was used to help train new operators. It made solving folder problems more logical and gave everyone a reference when stumped. Took shipping from a 4x5 ” 3-part carbonless packing list to an automated Excel spreadsheet which we e-mailed to the CSR and customer before the order left the dock. Allowing them to review shipments early. This decreased shipping errors and increased on time deliveries. Concurrently, I involved personnel in rewriting and updating all ISO documents for shipping and receiving to accurately reflect changes. This aided me to improve the crews effectiveness I can provide documentation of the above two examples as well as others.

Obviously I am focused on Production and Supervision. I hope to turn this search into an excellent career move and I am willing to relocate.
