Delivered World-Class OEE (>85%) for a mid-size food manufacturing client by facilitating targeted kaizen events that eliminated Six Big Losses across two production lines, achieving a 15%–25% lift in net throughput capacity without capital expenditure.• Reduced a client’s annual COGS by $1M by conducting executive-level Value Stream Mapping focused on financial leakage, identifying and eliminating the top sources of material scrap and process waste across their production operations.• Transformed a client maintenance function from reactive to predictive by deploying CMMS-based monitoring protocols, resulting in a 20% increase in Mean Time Between Failures (MTBF) and a 15% reduction in Maintenance Cost per Unit (MCU).• Delivered all CAPEX projects within 5% of budgeted cost by leading strategic capital planning and business case development, ensuring 100% achievement of target throughput capacity on every engagement.• Increased operational data velocity by 40% by deploying MES/IoT digital tools, enabling plant managers and floor leaders to make faster, data-driven decisions and sustain CI improvements after engagement close.

ABOUT CARLOS GALVIS
I build the operational systems that turn complexity into margin, and I have the numbers to prove it. As Director of Engineering and Operations, I led end-to-end manufacturing for a federally regulated food product facility, overseeing production, engineering, and maintenance for a 160+ person team. By deploying a full CMMS platform, embedding Lean and 5S across every production line, and restructuring the capital plan, I reduced unplanned downtime by 40%, cut in annual OpEx, and sustained a multi-year zero lost-time injury record. My background spans 15+ years across regulated food manufacturing, industrial operations, and engineering leadership. I have managed $2M+ in strategic CAPEX, driven OEE from 65% to 85%, and built CI cultures that hold, not just while I’m in the room, but after I leave. Core strengths: Lean / Six Sigma · 5S · OEE optimization · HACCP & food safety compliance · ISO 9001 · Health Canada GMP · TSSA / ESA · Capital planning & CAPEX execution · CMMS implementation · P&L accountability · Multi-site team leadership (160+ persons) · Bilingual: English / Spanish If you are looking for a Director of Operations or Engineering leader who can walk a plant floor, own a P&L, and build a team that delivers, let’s connect.
