Director of Operations

As the Director of Operational Excellence in our manufacturing firm, my mission is to infuse our operations with the most advanced methodologies in Lean Manufacturing and Continuous Improvement. 
Every day, I am hands-on with Lean Six Sigma tools, dissecting our processes to identify inefficiencies and devise strategic solutions that enhance our workflow, quality and bottom line.

My role involves a deep dive into the mechanics of our production line, from the procurement of materials to the shipping of final products. I conduct analyses, using data-driven techniques to pinpoint areas ripe for improvement. By fostering a culture of excellence and innovation, I lead cross-functional teams to challenge the status quo and embrace change.

Collaborating closely with department heads, I map out value stream processes, eliminating non-value-adding steps and optimizing the use of our resources. I'm tasked with the vital job of minimizing waste—not just physical waste, but waste in time and talent—ensuring that every aspect of our operations contributes to a leaner, more agile organization.

Training and mentoring our workforce in Lean principles is another cornerstone of my role. I develop and deliver comprehensive training programs, empowering our employees with the skills and mindset needed to sustain continuous improvement. It's a collaborative effort to harness collective insights and innovations, leading to processes that are not only efficient but also resilient to the fluctuating demands of our industry.

I am proud to be at the helm of such transformative efforts, leading a team that's not just doing a job, but revolutionizing the way we manufacture. Together, we're setting new industry benchmarks, delivering value to our customers, and securing our position as a leader in the manufacturing arena.
