Executive Summary
Production manager over stamping and welding at an automotive components plant, responsible for 210 people across three shifts and eight supervisors. Thirteen years in metal forming, six of them running departments. Measured on schedule attainment, first pass yield and labor variance for the areas he owns rather than for the whole site.

- Improved first pass yield on the welded seat frame cells from 94.2 percent to 98.8 percent through fixture rebuilds and an operator certification matrix.
- Cut scrap and rework in the press department by 1.1 million dollars a year by tightening coil handling and die maintenance triggers.
- Lifted overall equipment effectiveness on four press lines by 9 points using single minute exchange of die methods on the longest changeovers.
- Held labor variance inside 1 percent of standard for eleven consecutive months across three shifts.
- Ran the department for four years with no lost time injury and closed 96 percent of near miss actions within thirty days.
