SELECTED ACHIEVEMENTS:

SALES AND MARKETING EFFORTS UTILIZING PLASTIC ENGINEERING SKILLS Account development manager for industrial sales in Nebraska and South Dakota Instrumental in establishing a branch with a warehouse in Omaha, NE. Started with a territory of less then

$500,000 sales and doubled sales for the new branch. I continued to support the branch through sales and management.

National Crane Engineering Success

Development of high-tensile strength insert allowed me to negotiate the proper margins on the account, resulting in nearly $350,000 per year account for several years (when assumed, the account was under

$10,000). The account was a key account until the company moved from the area. John Deere Sales Account Management

Continue to negotiate new and established parts, doing business with three divisions of the company. Had the responsibility to maintaining quality systems required to do business with Deere. This included part scheduling and prioritizing, material and quality specifications as well as corporate information sharing. These skills are required to develop the overall performance of the relationship. Quality and delivery have very strict standards to remain a supplier.

STRATEGIC DECISION MAKING

Created a production system, for manufacturing components used in sprayers Developed work cell production for production of threaded plastic pipe. Parts originally produced with CNC lathes. A pipe-threading machine, along with internal threading equipment was tested and installed. This allowed less skilled labor to produce the parts with less costly equipment. All secondary operations machined with conventional equipment, within the work cell. Production costs were half of original costs. TEAM BUILDING AND COACHING

Taught corporate sales people how to use standard costing module in our manufacturing/accounting system. Implemented standard costing, then trained staff how to use the module. This allowed a baseline to determine budgeted margins, without having to review production staff efficiency. This information provided management with a tool to reward sales with a commission. Salespeople benefitted by having a tool to understand the total cost, and the cost drivers. MANAGING UNEXPECTEDAND CRITICAL SITUATIONS

Planned and implemented relocation of critical work-centers to reduce overhead. Equipment was rigged, transported, positioned, and wired, within planned timeframe and budget. Assumed role of procurement manager as required.

Purchased and negotiated pricing on all three branches of the company, then trained a replacement. Projected inventory reports used to manage inventory requirements for both production and distribution.
