Narrative
I have been an active consultant in the field of Oracle Manufacturing Applications since 1996, three years of which
has been spent with Big Five firms. I have over 40 years of IT and manufacturing experience in mid and large sized
manufacturing operations.Prior to entering the field of consulting,I held a variety of industry positions including IT
Manager, Operations Manager, Purchasing Manager, Materials Manager, Sales Manager, Quality Assurance Manager,
and Manager/Consultant.I have been recognized for exceptional abilities in Business Analysis,Manufacturing
Systems, Manufacturing Process Improvement, Order Management, and Program Management. My primary area of
specialization lies in the Manufacturing Modules of the Oracle Applications E-Business Suite, including Inventory,
Engineering, Bills of Material, Work-in-Process, Costing (Standard and Average methods), EAM, and Order
Management.
The industries in which I have specific experience include aerospace manufacturing, forge/foundry operations,
electronics manufacturing & assembly, small plastic component manufacturing (injection and compression molding),
production of large scale capital equipment, retail, consumer products,medical devices, and telecommunications
equipment and services.
I am a U.S. citizen, and available to contract as a W-2 employee or under my own corporation, Andara Consulting,

Acted as Manufacturing Track Lead at a multiple site implementation for a multi-org machinery builder.
Acted as Manufacturing/Costing Lead at a multiple site implementation for a multi-org electronics manufacturer
and assembler.
Co-managed 30-month multi-facility Oracle 10.7 Applications implementations including HR/Payroll. Responsible
for project plan development, acquisition of consulting resources,and overall implementation budgeting and
scheduling.Additionally, served as Manufacturing Track Lead with primary responsibility over Inventory,
Engineering, Bills of Material, Work In Process,Order Management, Planning (MRP/CRP), and Quality modules.
This implementation replaced this client’s varied existing COBOL based business systems and successfully satisfied a
corporate mandate to be Y2K compliant.
Developed serialization / lot control systemthat allowed this aerospace and defense component provider to track
discrete units from receipt, to issue to work order, through shipment. Additionally, this solution included both
standard WIP jobs as well as repetitive manufacturing activities.
Directed an 18-month Change Management effort, including formal software selection initiative. This effort was
comprised of more than 30 participants from six locations. This activity developed the preliminary business
requirements document subsequently used in a 10.7 implementation.
Developed courseware and served as instructorfor customend-usertraining courses for 150 users at 6 locations, in
the areas of OE, ENG/BOM, WIP, MRP, INV, and Quality.
Acted as WIP, BOM, ENG, CST, PM, Training Lead/Instructor for U.S. Government agency (NASA-JPL)

Fortune 100 aerospace and defense supplier to insure compliance with MIL-Q-9858. This systemis still in use today.
Developed combination PC and mainframe based MRP I and MRP II solution for a mid-tier flight engine
component manufacturer. This systemfunctioned as a complete manpower and capacity resource planning system,
which supported the client’s Flow Manufacturing effort. Demonstrated reductions and improvement in leadtime and
inventory turns resulted in four additional locations installing this solution as their sole planning engine. This system
was based on the widely accepted principles of Synchronous (Flow) Manufacturing for capacity and manpower
planning, which increases inventory turns, increase throughput,and reduce overall operating expense through
constraint management.
Developed PC based Order management / Backlog management systemfor supplier of industrial forgings.
Developed unique business process flows that helped a major telcom equipment and services provider in re-
engineering their order management and provisioning activities.
