My personal and professional commitment towards performance excellence makes me feel that I would be an excellent fit for any of your open management positions. My documented strengths in production management with Spirit Manufacturing and my past positions in maintenance, purchasing, and facilities for Alfa Laval for over 17 years of management provide me with the experience you are looking for. I was responsible for ordering all the commodities required for the manufacturing and fabrication of stainless pumps, valve, and fittings. In addition to purchasing I also was responsible for the Tool Room, Gage Calibration of over 2000 gages, the Facility, Grounds and the maintenance and skilled trades departments. As Operations Manager for Performance Clean I managed the back of house activities for Miller Park, the Bradley Center in Milwaukee, and Camp Randall in Madison as well as the Broadway in Chicago and Lyric Opera Theaters in Chicago. My work force demographics consisted of 98% Hispanic. These duties demanded effective skills in communication, quality and safety, which will allow me to “hit the ground running†and quickly be a productive member of your world class organization.
Enthusiasm, hard work, imagination, and motivation are the attributes that have driven my success in past positions. I have extensive experience in supervision and management of others and identifying facility production requirements and meeting customers’ needs. I also have the ability to develop commodity cost reduction plans such as POU (point of use) and VOM (Vendor Owned and Managed) purchasing programs and support systems like TLM (Tool Location Management) and MP2 preventative maintenance programs that sustain quality control ensuring building efficiency and safety. I believe I can contribute to the further growth of your organization. I have the ability to sell ideas as well as establish standard operating procedures and develop the required quality and safety services. These attributes will serve you well in improving your annual budget and reducing your current operating expenses.
My experience, detailed in the enclosed resume, and my passion to continually identify opportunities and implement initiatives to reduce overall costs will allow me to transfer smoothly to your operations and be an immediate asset to any world class organization. My dedication and reputation for “going the extra mile†is well known. I am recognized as a self-starter who never accepts the status quo but looks for a better way to achieve goals. I work very effectively under pressure, and in an environment of rapidly changing priorities. I am flexible, and have learned to view change as a challenge and an opportunity. Although I am a self-starter and work well independently, I recognize the importance of teamwork and have demonstrated an ability to motivate staff to advance towards effectively accomplishing company goals.
