Profile
Over the last 25 years I have been successful in delivering profitable results in highly competitive consumer markets. I have exceptional relationship building, networking and partnering abilities. My experience in product design, manufacturing methods, production management coupled with my outstanding people skills allows me to add real value. I am an analytical, innovative and out-of-the-box thinker with a record of securing results. I have a calm and thoughtful approach which results in getting the job done right without rework. I am able to manage growth and associated growing pains in a realistic, flexible and organised way.
Core Competencies
Production Management Experience
I have significant experience in a range of manufacturing environments: construction, electronics, FMCG, metalworking, telecommunications and plastics. This has resulted in strong understanding and application of Manufacturing, Finance, Quality assurance, Lean Manufacturing, Materials Planning and logistics, employee relations and organisation improvement.
Team Leadership
Strong Leadership and communication evidenced by successfully supervising, coaching and mentoring of up to 60 staff. Liaising with Senior Management and other departments and attending to the needs of staff whilst maintaining focus on company targets.
Results driven
I have proven success in delivering profitable results in highly competitive consumer markets.
This ability to consistently exceed expectations has been enhanced through my ability to communicate clearly and persuasively with attention to detail and excellent problem solving capabilities.
Continuous Improvement
I am experienced in developing and implementing Lean manufacturing and Continuous Improvement methods and strategies and am driven by Best Practice and Quality Assurance.
Production Engineering
Throughout my career I have been involved in factory design and layout according to Lean principles, maximising flow and efficiency. At MagicEzy I installed and commissioned a Tube filler/sealer and flow wrapper production line which is similar to can filling. I also added mechanical improvements to increase production volume and improve safety for team members.
