I improve manufacturing performance through data systems, governance, training, and continuous improvement.
United StatesWhat I'm looking for
At Smithfield Foods, I build data collection systems, governance programs, and training tools that help facilities improve plant performance. I led implementation of an OEE data collection system across 28 facilities, using analysis to identify downtime-reduction opportunities.
I've helped standardize Manufacturing IQ processes across facilities by training plant teams, auditing processes, managing data platforms, and creating SOPs, work instructions, checklists, and leader standard work. I also led automation initiatives and communicated project progress through weekly reports.
My production operations background includes managing a production team, evaluating yield and labor for new line installations, and supporting kaizen efforts focused on cost savings, material handling, and efficiency.
