About William Gunderson

Results driven Executive \"Change Agent\" with Operations, Quality, Purchasing, Sanitation, Process Design, Safety and Human Resources experience who can transform a workforce to be World Class. A leader who can work with all levels within the organization I have and will do that for you. I believe that problems are a lack of proper direction and communication. I can establish the systems needed and implement them in a way that they are accepted and become the basis for continued improvement and growth. I have a proven track record of cost savings from raw material procurement to Workmen\'s Compensation Insurance. I have developed products and systems that were the first of their type reducing unnecessary repetitive work and improving worker safety and job satisfaction. I have written hundreds of SOP\'s, conducted countless internal audits and trained hundreds of workers in quality and operations safety. There is a balance that has to be maintained in any high output or performance system. If that balance is not monitored, taken care of and listened to it will not function at its peak performance. This is what I bring to the table for your organization: Leadership that Listens Process Design and Documentation for Food Safety Training to develop a culture of continuous improvement Reducing Waste of material and manpower Being safe in the work we do In my career I have been involved with two company start-ups that did not have a product until I developed them and successfully implemented systems and equipment to produce them. I have managed a \"world Class\" snack manufacturing company with process improvement saving over in a year. I have negotiated insurance saving a company over in a year. My training has allowed me to take a company who did not have safety programs to one that not only had zero injuries but a workers comp mod factor of.72 These are but a few of the many improvements and cost savings as well as life savings programs I have implemented within the organizations I have worked for.
