• Process Manager / Receiving & Warehouse Manager

  • Aug 2022 - Present

  PROCESS MANAGER: Calculate practical KPI’s through raw data while maximizing output and mitigating waste at department levels. Compile data through analog and digital inputs to create efficient workflows in production, accounting, inventory, and customer service. Collaborate with executives and department heads to pivot focuses into damage control and priority initiatives. Install new digital interfaces coupled to our ERM system for every production workstation and implement all subsequent workflows and training. Establish new protocols and processes for broken workflows to reduce output bottlenecks to minimize stress on supervisors and team leads company wide. Facilitate new processes on the ERP management team. RECEIVING & WAREHOUSE MANAGER: Receive all shipments and local deliveries, manage physical inventory, train and coach all warehouse personnel, fix production order errors, manage and repair industrial machinery, create purchase orders and maintain material supply and coordinate with accounting on damaged material credits. Act as interim manager while filling position after last manager retired. Improve all workflows, document all duties and build a training module for this position. (There was zero documentation so I was forced to start from scratch.) Manage a team of direct reports. The initial purpose was to create the framework for a smooth turnover while the upper echelon searched for a candidate to fill the position. I accomplished this while maintaining goal momentum as the Process Manager and also creating practical solutions in inventory management and increasing accuracy and speed in material distribution.
