Executive Summary
Business analyst with nine years inside food and beverage plants, working on cost per unit, scrap and line performance rather than software requirements. Builds the daily reporting that plant managers run their shifts from, and checks on the floor that the numbers match what operators see.
Signature Achievements
- Rebuilt the cost per unit model across eleven filling lines and exposed 640,000 dollars of annual scrap.
- Raised overall equipment effectiveness on the two slowest lines from 58 percent to 71 percent by proving that changeover time was the real constraint.
- Cut month end operations reporting from six days to two by replacing eleven manual spreadsheets.
- Found a 3 percent yield gap between two identical lines and traced it to a filler setting.
- Reduced obsolete packaging write offs by 44 percent by building a slow moving material report the buyers now review every Monday.
