Alcon Manufacturing, Ltd. Huntington, WV 2002 - 2007
Area Supervisor III
• Supervised 52 employees in three departments on third shift: Monarch II production, Lens and Lens Delivery Device Sterilization, and Finishing/Packaging, with indirect reporting from facility maintenance, line maintenance, and quality control. Document Control and human resource cross training.
• Monarch II is an injection molded class III medical device used as a lens delivery system for the Acrysof lens and polymethylmethacrylate intraocular lens (PMMA) which are class I medical devices. Both were manufactured in class 10000 clean rooms under my supervision.
• Sterilization was achieved through Ethylene Oxide exposure. Responsibility entailed not only ensuring the daily operations continued without fail, but also monitoring and testing for ETO exposure throughout the facility.
• Goals, output and quality, were met in all three work areas for the last four review cycles with production outputs exceeding 25% above goal in most product lines.

Campbell Soup Supply Company Maxton, NC 1998-2002
Production Supervisor
• Supervised 47 in the blending and filling departments to produce 2.5 million cases of soup annually on second shift.
• Filling yields-consistently lead the plant in positive and above budget filling yields, which is the most important aspect to make money in the food industry. This translates at Maxton to meeting budget plus $2700.00 to 3500.00 per month. This was done while also reducing number of corrective actions from 36 on second shift to 16 for the last fiscal year, and a reduction in the total number of off-quality or off-color hold-ups was accomplished through strong and direct hands-on leadership.
• Productive labor- while this represents only 3% of the total plant budget; it is the one place where a supervisor or manager can make a direct an immediate difference. Positive year-end results in excess of $98,000 were seen during 2001 in my work team across three shifts and 300,000 under budget on second shift productive labor. Material usage budgets were accomplished across the board.
• ISO 9000 program implementation, process progression, and critical control point record keeping.
• Supervised up to 14 hourly employees in the thermal processing dept. (this is one of food safety’s most critical control points in ensuring sterility) and 51 hourly employees in the packaging dept.
• Reduced the number of mislabelings on third shift from an average of 13 annually, to three in 1998-1999 and only two in 1999-2000, all of which were contained inside the facility.
• Oversaw the transition to a new chemical vendor for the packaging/processing dept. which saved the company $30,000 annually by choosing chemicals that would meet the needs of a food processing plant while using the least costly combination of chemical and /or chemical combination, amounts used, and time involved with each.
• Working directly with the fiber, plastic wrap, and glue vendors in a search for materials that would be less expensive and would reduce downtime yielded excellent results. While cost reduction was not achieved, downtime was reduced from 2.07 minutes of downtime per line per hour to 1.97. This represents a 10% reduction and approximate savings of $21,000 in 2000.
• The Maxton facility is a team-oriented workforce, which also allows supervisors to take on the additional role of a team coach. This gives a supervisor the experience of planning and coordinating training, along with changes of job practices across all three shifts.
