By optimizing CSV, FBDI, and Rest API configuration processes, I achieved a remarkable 40% reduction in configuration timelines compared to initial estimates, significantly reducing errors and rework costs.

In addition to my technical proficiency, I have been instrumental in securing projects valued at $5M+ through successful product demonstrations that showcase the value and capabilities of Oracle Fusion supply chain solutions.

One of the most rewarding aspects of my work has been managing an offshore team, ensuring on-time project delivery and continuous support across multiple time zones, while maintaining high levels of client satisfaction.

As Inventory Manager, I control total inventory levels, and specifically, ensure that we don’t have excesses, shortages or losses. I enjoy managing millions of dollars of inventory with teams and warehouses in two countries.

My teams have reduced our “in process” inventory by more than 25% and more than quadrupled inventory accuracy to over 99%. In the process of creating those successes, the real fun has been teaching TQM to the warehouse staff, and watching them earn and enjoy the results they see on daily and weekly dashboards.

By modifying the consumption process, with one additional quality checkpoint for data entry errors, controlled by a cycle counting process and a backup Oracle alert, inventory accuracy errors were nearly eliminated. Not only did this result in $180 thousand labor savings due to reduced rework, it has also cut time for customer inventory audits, chargebacks for lost inventory, and eliminated cancelled or delayed work orders due to missing inventory.

As Process Unit Manager I was responsible for three shifts of production in four manufacturing areas, with a direct team of 4 people managing 200+ line workers making 1 million finished goods weekly.

I was proud of my team’s 100% passing record in FDA, customer and social responsibility audits, along with our continuous improvement of weekly key performance indicator reports, and our easy to understand process flowcharts.

I had fun working with my engineers on projects like Cleaning In Place that reduced cleaning time by 75%, and implementing new tube production technologies and processes that tripled our production efficiency while reducing waste by 10% and labor expense per piece by 20%.

After working on new product launches worth more than $3 million, there is something amazing about watching the process go from a blue sky idea to a finished good on a store shelf. It’s a pride in your work that provides constant motivation to do better.

My team’s job was managing thousands of investor bank accounts and monthly payments based on loan package contracts. I was in charge of coordinating with two small US teams in two states, and two large teams in India, to provide forecasts for each account on balances and payments due, as well as wiring funds to investors. On a daily basis, I was accountable for more than $500 million in fund movements.

At the same time, we added hundreds of investor accounts and merged the two US teams to better balance the daily tasks. I managed to implement and automate several quality checkpoints while reducing the number of people involved in each work flow. This reduced labor requirements as well as mistakes.

In one instance, with VBA coding in Excel, I was able to reduce month end reporting from requiring three people, three days to complete, to only a single person working for 3 hours. This saved the company $120 thousand annually and eliminated rework due to data entry errors, even though we increased the accounts by 20% every month.

I began a string of projects and titles at Oxygen in May of 2011 when I officially started as a “Finance Intern.” It’s a classic (and kind of boring) title that doesn’t really tell you much about what a person does. But I was up to some amazing projects!

My very first project was to construct a method of standard costing that would allow the company to quote projects very fast, and without subjective variation. To do that, I had to poke my nose into every part of the factory and understand how everything fit together.

A few months later and I had a tool put together along with a long term roadmap for improvements that could be implemented as the factory implemented different scheduling and organization practices, and a much more interesting title: “Costing Manager”! I’m quite proud of the fact that four years later, the factory has changed scheduling practices, and my tool is still being used with only slight modifications.

Of course, once you know how to predict a standard cost, the goal is to reduce it. By working with multiple production departments, and implementing key performance indicators, overtime control, and payroll processes that standardized the labor management and used deeper analysis to predict and control costs, we identified over $1 million in annual savings.

None of that would have been possible had I not been in a position to mentor the Business Analysts, and with the help of HR implement internal and external TQM and Six Sigma training that would eventually be taught and used at all levels in the company.
