Meet Generac's KPI goal of 95% inventory accuracy and implemented A, B, C analysis for cycle count program.

Problem: Generac was spending too much on freight and handling from our Hub for items that could come direct to Oshkosh location saving 100K a year in freight.
Successfully moved two product families from Generac's mobile business group to the Oshkosh commercial and industrial facility. Resulting in 15 million of increased C&I business and allowing the mobile group to expand to meet growing demand.

Problem: Due to increased demand, mobile business group was missing customer delivery dates and needed to limit their scope of work to increase efficiencies.
Increased picking productivity in the central warehouse by 70%, report weekly metrics to Supply Chain Manager. Reorganized the warehouse, created short pick path picking lanes, renamed bin locations and labeled racks. Used storage type logic creating common locations for high runner parts that are easily accessible for picking team. Resulting in improvement for picks per man hour and pick errors. Problem: Needed to improve cost of indirect labor, improve pick errors and be able to respond to the needs of assembly quicker.
Implemented standard processes in the factory, cross training team members to work in other departments to allow flexibility and consistency with the work flow. Created standard work documents to support the Materials Team. Problem: Inconsistent work process, inability to cross train team, too much tribal knowledge and lack of work instructions to be efficient as a team.
My role supports Materials Management, shipping, receiving and all warehouse activities.
