PTOP (power through our people) is a RR initiative bringing focus on 4 key pillars: community service, team building, appreciation, & charity.

Leading our 18-person committee I plan and execute numerous events throughout the year to engage the employees in Civil Purchasing, and get them involved in things outside of their day job which ultimately helps motivate them in their role.

Key annual events include:

• 200 person employee appreciation day event featuring lunch and games at Eagle Creek Park.
• Bi-annual volunteering afternoons with the Indianapolis Parks and Rec team refreshing and rejuvenating local parks.
• Charity fundraisers by virtue of March Madness brackets and Chili Cook Offs, raising approximately $1,000 each year.
• Employee golf scramble event.

• Operating as the first point of contact with regards to delivery for each of my 3 suppliers.
• Mitigating lack of supply in the near term to protect the RR build line and spares sales.
• Lead OBRs (order book review) with my suppliers to understand WIP (work in progress) and raw material coverage across the whole portfolio of parts, and identifying future risk.
• Ensuring data integrity throughout the ERP system for my parts.
• Reviewing and reporting on suppliers KPIs (key performance indicators), and taking actions to escalate where performance was deteriorating.
• Annually analyzing suppliers lead times to keep our planning parameters accurate.
• Managing supplier shipments on a daily basis through CEVA Matrix.
