Daniel MAYER

I've supported General Motors' Arlington Vehicle Assembly Center since 2005, connecting production management, product engineering, optimization, and launch-planning teams in a high-volume automotive environment.

As Body Shop Business Planner, I schedule and coordinate production, maintenance, and cross-functional support; lead continuous-improvement work toward a 3% productivity target; and manage manpower planning, business-plan metrics, shutdown activities, and department communication for 600+ employees. I was recognized three times as Salary Group Leader of the Month.

Previously, as a Senior Industrial Engineer, I integrated product design into manufacturing processes, led production trials and engineering changes, and improved shop metrics by 15% to 55.0+ average minutes per hour. I also increased throughput by 10% in bottleneck zones while improving quality sequencing, ergonomics, inspection processes, and material operations.

I've contributed to major GM vehicle launches and decommissioning projects, bringing a practical, think-out-loud style focused on individual improvement and enterprise-wide results.
