Summary

Greetings SMC and hiring manager,

I am applying for the 2nd Shift - Assembly Supervisor position as I believe I would be a great fit within this organization and possess the essential qualifications . My ability to communicate affectively and efficiently, as well as my drive to continuously improve not only our processes, but most importantly our people is what makes me believe I am an excellent candidate for this role.

As a Production Lead at SMC, I have demonstrated these skills during my shift as well as within my Team and co-workers. I have become more proficient with taking lead when issues come, and being able to problem solve these making them a teaching moment for all involved.

I am very interested in this role and confident I will meet and exceed your expectations as a leader and contributor.

Sincerely,

Jakob Weninger

Work History

Production Lead

SMC Ltd.
08.2022 - Current
  • Strong sense for statistics/analytics. With that I found processing errors in our labor tracking for PPLH. This led me to tracking data for three months and presenting it to all production managers at SMC.
  • Extremely well adept in learning new skills and are able to replicate them with accuracy and efficiency. Learned the general makings of a production lead and was able to handle one weeks worth of solo lead work with no supervisor three months into my job.
  • Huge advocate for communication and believe it is the cornerstone to any business. I strive to not only communicate efficiently and appropriately to my bosses/ other leads, but to all of my coworkers as well. I work diligently to ensure everyone is on the same page and has the valuable production information they need.
  • During my time working here I have learned how to accurately identify quality issues with production products and understand the differences in all types of quality defects.
  • Has handled scheduling of operators for daily duties, time and attendance, PTO, trained operators, and kept shifts activities moving accordingly.
  • Have been working with management to better understand the processes and teaching of lean manufacturing, and the benefits it provides production.

Cashier/Truck Unloader

Kwik Trip
09.2020 - 05.2022
  • Worked well in a fast paced environment that needed both control and communication between the coworkers and the patrons.
  • Handled transactions to give exact change in a timely manner, having to do quick mental math in order to keep the lines moving.
  • Managed all of our operations as a team with direct lines of communication and support for all workers involved.

Bartender

Gibby's Lanes, Sports Bar & Banquet Center
05.2019 - 08.2020
  • I was able to broaden my communication skills not only with customers/patrons but also how to effectively communicate in a fast paced environment.
  • Learning to deal with disgruntled customers, and how to listen and respect what they were saying in order to create a solution to make both parties satisfied.
  • Managed a charity event, where setup and takedown of a full bar service was needed while handling bartending and service for over 500 guests.

Production Operator

SMC Ltd.
06.2018 - 08.2018
  • My first experience with IQMS systems and their most basic functions helped teach me backcounts, cycle times, and how to look at SWI’s on certain presses at the time.
  • This job was what first showed me how capable I was at being able to multitask and think multiple steps ahead about other things. Now I can do this with more advanced complexity, but learning to handle three presses or how to best optimize a door job really showed what I was capable of learning.
  • SMC also pushed an accelerated environment of learning to move with the demand that we offered to people also pushed my potential as well.
