levels, on time delivery etc., establishing reorder criteria to meet those goals,

2. Labor and Production Control by maintaining valid work standards, measuring
reported production against those standards, and making sure that the payroll
dollars paid to production workers result in a high percentage of labor value in
product produced.
Work with scheduling systems to make efficient use of available resources to meet
production demands.
While I am not an account, I am very familiar with financials, cost accounting,
month end variances from standard etc.
Improve the overall business performance through analysis and revision of
procedures, as well as providing documentation so that functions are performed in

A Few of My Accomplishments:
Worked with management to improve on time delivery to customers from 80% or less to a
relatively consistent 98% while reducing inventory by about 15%.
Designed and managed development of on-line business systems for complete
manufacturing and accounting system from scratch before on-line capabilities were
common.
Developed job description for Materials Manager at VP level of $35 million company.
Designed system and programmed bar code scanners for inventory movement with multi-

utilization of existing facility. Improved data accuracy by eliminating manual records.
Interfaced both EDI and Web order entry systems directly into order entry data base.
Designed system to scan customer order picking line to assure that items picked matched
order and if item was serialized, forced reading serial information and posted all back to
order shipping database.

while improving the clients’ bottom line and service to the customer.
