Manged both Plant and retail locations. During this time, I have scratched started 6 new stores and assisted with 3 acquisitions 1 being plant. Survived 3 FDA audits with little to no findings. In my position BOM I was tasked to improve inventory turns and reduce dead stock and open orders for the PNW, which WE did. (Team Effort). I was also tasked to manage the Kent dry ice processing plant, where I was able to cut both cost and loss of product, by better managing the ordering process of the ice, while increasing production. In my current role as a safety and Compliance and Quality Manager, We have improved the awareness of SH&E, reduced our audit findings and improved our training completion rate to where sits today at 97%.
