Project Manager & Sales Engineer When I came to this company they were a "Tier 1" company that was on the fast track to failing. With slow delivery times, designing flaws and poor communications I stepped in and reorganized the way they did business. I was able to resurrect this company from non- existence and bring it back into the game. The communication process began with a series of meetings with the OEM's Project Manager or Project Engineers. I then re-organized the shop personal with tools they needed to succeed which was training and direction. I designed using CAD programming to improve the way the finished product should look to the specifications of the customers. I saved money and time by restructuring the inventory and purchasing system which improved the overall delivery dates. I maintained the communications with the customers, shop and office personnel and business went to the next level.
CE Engineering INC., Flint, MI 1987 - 2000 Business & Sales Manager I started at the bottom of the ladder at CE Engineering, selling of fluid power components, hydraulic and pneumatic controls. I sold annual sales of approximately $1.2 million and I managed 120 industrial accounts. By working with OEM accounts this posed unique challenges as our customers built equipment that is used in a variety of factories. The majority of our customers built automotive manufacturing equipment or material handling systems for GM, Ford, Chrysler, and their suppliers. As a Sales Manager I also implemented a training seminar for the factory maintenance personal giving customer service they were unaccustomed to.
Apart from CE distribution business they also manufactured electronically controlled hydrostatic power units. My role consisted of engineering and technical sales for these systems. This was accomplished by working with OEM and the end users engineers and process personal, to develop the systems specifications, requirements, along with a plan for its design and implementation.
One of the major projects I managed was the design, layout and installation of control panels for Fabricating Engineers complete conveyor system at the Flint Truck and Bus Assembly Plant. I also sold units to other major companies such as Dow Chemical and Sweatheart Plastics.
