Relevant Career Highlights
Independent Consultant – Managing Partner @ Moore Industrial Engineering;
Leads successful startups for large project of $10MM+ Delivering value to clients by
successfully reducing Startup Curve from 12 weeks to 5 weeks while ensuring the
project exceeds performance targets.
Dawn Foods – Continuous Improvement Engineer; Dawn Food Products;
Scott successfully developed a loss tracking systemto allow Dawn Foods to identify and
eliminate manufacturing losses across the organization resulting in savings of > $5MM
in 2 years. Development and Successful Launch of 3 Pillars (Focused Improvement,
Planned Maintenance, & TeamMember Development). Leadership and Training for
the operations group for CI Projects resulting 75 unique CI Projects / Events in 8
locations.
2. Chiquita/Fresh Express – Sr. Continuous Improvement Mgr; Successfully developed
a loss tracking system to allow Chiquita to identify and eliminate manufacturing losses
across the organization resulting in savings of > $20MM in 2 years; Developed,
Championed and Launched the TPM Pillar systemused by Chiquita today with specific
responsibility for three of the Pillars. This systemis changing the culture that will be
able to sustain its improvements through a systemapproach that involves all
stakeholders in the process. This pillar system routinely reduces operation costs by $6 -
$8MM per yr.
Industrial Engineer; Successfully launched over 20 new products to market. In addition
to Supporting New Product Development Scott managed over $20MM in Capital
Spending Projects, Maintained Cost Standards on over 150 different SKUs, Developed
and Maintained Capacity Models for manufacturing and routinely led successful
process improvement events
Milliken & Co. – TPM Manager; responsible for leading 3 plants to achieve the
distinguished “JIPM: TPM Award for Excellence”. Successfully transformed a culture to
proactively maintain a world class operation vs reactively chase failures.

Relevant Projects
Milliken – Lead 3 Plants to achieve the TPM award for Excellence. At the time it was
only 3 of 20 plants in the United States to earn the honor. In most cases the cultural
transformation takes 2 to 3 years however Scott was able to work with his team to
achieve it in 18 months. This achievement resulted in 50% reduction in Breakdowns,
60% Reduction in Minor Stops, 95% Reduction in Safety Incidents and 30% reduction in
operating costs.
At Fresh Express, Replaced 10 packaging lines with more efficient models. Included
successful startup execution of Engineering, Installation, Training, Commissioning and
Qualification.
At Chiquita & Dawn Foods, developed 3 Pillars of the TPM System used to transform
to a proactive mindset of maintaining the plant at a high level. As a support for this, a
Root Cause Analysis training program was created for many levels of the organization
including from Operators up to Plant Leaders. Operators were trained how to identify
and recognize the loss, Mechanics and Supervisors were trained how to get to actual
Root Cause and Managers were coached on how to facilitate the overall session. As a
3. result Process Owners have begun solving problems that were previously recurring.
This has led to heightened sense of ownership for each operating unit.
At Fresh Express, combined ClassicalIndustrial Engineering with Process
Improvements to troubleshoot a Healthy Snacking product line that was scheduled to
be idled for lack of performance. After measuring the work on that line, was able to
determine that the volume was more conducive to a U shaped work cell than an
assembly line. As a result of the Rapid Improvement event the operation costs were
reduced by 40% and the line is still in production over 5 years later.
At Fresh Express, developed capacity model to allow operations to have visibility of
their capacity which allowed them to accept more orders and become more profitable.
As a result the plant increased from 110K to 126K cases/day.
At ConAgra, Start Up Manager for a process to produce Margarine with No Trans
Fats, producing an overall healthier choice for consumers. The processing of the new
formula is a more complex to produce requiring Cross Functional involvement of many
teams in the plant including Operations, Maintenance, and Quality. In addition the
project requires resources from National Engineering to work with Research, Quality
and Innovations. Currently the project is on target to deliver under budget.
