I can bring tremendous value to your company. This has always been the case because of my ability to become technically and commercially related to a product's design, form, fit and function.
Based on my broad participation and experiences in managing the technical and commercial events associated in: consumer products for sanitary plumbing/faucets and architectural security hardware for (cosmetic) door locks, aero space fluid filtration, on highway and off highway: automotive, agricultural, construction, mobile crane equipment, power train, drive train, engines and engine dress ups, high voltage circuit switch gear protection equipment and the electromechanical power systems and sub systems and gear boxes for renewable energy for wind turbines, I have always been able to research, discover, integrate and implement innovation and technology to produce exceptional results in equipment, cost reductions and services that delighted my customers, both internal and external.
I have documented achievements in transforming ambiguity and translating it and other information into workable strategies. This is a complex process that requires skill, dedication, teamwork as well as creativity. Significant achievements and break through results are consistently produced based on applying the disciplines of classical process engineering, process mapping and process development.

PROFESSIONAL EXPERIENCE
CLIPPER WIND POWER, Cedar Rapids, IA 2010 – 2012
Warranty Vendor Recovery Manager and Supply Chain Leader,
(Weldments, Fabrications, Castings, Brakes and Lubricants)
Driving manufacturing engineering transformation from the supply chain organization.
Through external supplier collaboration and cross functional internal engagement with Clipper Engineering,
developed
and implemented a new advanced manufacturing process that reclaimed scrapped structural ductile iron machined
gear
boxes and housing castings. Utilizing a specialized re-welding process of ductile iron housings
and re-machining and validation through Non Destructive Testing (Ultra Sonic and Dye Penetrent). Process
generated
$225K of cost savings and became accepted practice for reclamation of scrapped castings.
·
Reorganized warranty recovery department by leading and facilitating communication between multi-disciplined
groups
including: Warehouse, Logistics, Quality, Engineering, Buyers, Planning, Accounting, Field Service, Legal / Contract
Administrator and Manufacturing resulting in integrating the best possible information to strengthen warranty claims.
· Managed recovery of $32M of warranty claim positions with vendors by negotiating settlements that maximized
financial
recovery for Clipper while maintaining strong positive vendor relationships and mitigating / managing business risks
such
s: open / future orders, contract negotiations and price increases. Recovery of $10.65M for 2011.
· Meticulously acquired, compiled data, and documentation and maintained records necessary to substantiate warranty
claims. Chaired warranty reviews with vendors and key Clipper staff that drove settlement solutions that addressed
the
entire product value stream. (Settlements are created by applying judgment and discretion to the input and feedback
of
Clipper staff such as Supply Chain Leaders, Supply Chain Managers, RCA Leads, Supplier Quality Engineers,
Supplier
Development Leaders, Engineering and Fleet Services.)
TEREX CRANES, Waverly, IA and Wilmington, NC 2007 – 2009
North American Commodity Manager, Drive Train Systems
Driving manufacturing engineering transformation from the supply chain organization.
Established and implemented design development program for redesigning $25M of off and on highway powered
planetary steer axles. Design improvement changed axle beam from casting to modular steel formed welded
fabrication
in order to easily accommodate and adapt to engine / frame space claims induced by Tier IV emissions regulations.
Successful execution achieved 15 % less cost than incumbent cast axle beam.
· Established and implemented strategies for maintaining, deferring, minimizing and reducing raw material inflation
during fiscal 2008 for domestic and globally sourced commodities.
2
· Settled lower target costs that recaptured 2009 raw material deflation by parametrically analyzing raw material content
of supplier goods purchased and correlating to Bureau of Labor Statistics Producer Price Index.
