About Eric B.

I am a seasoned operations management professional with 7+ years of experience. Recognized for demonstrating a natural aptitude for cost reduction measures, as well as for developing innovative policy and compliance programs with an organizational business presence. Professional focal points include process improvements and quality initiatives, reporting and analytics, and numerous facets of manufacturing improvements, including policy and procedure development, training programs, cost reduction, waste identification, productivity planning, and root cause analysis. Delivering superior administration on the latter areas of expertise requires the utilization of effective communication and negotiation skills, business acumen, process engineering, and resource management to support performance efficiency and leverage maximum returns. Currently, I am the Manager of Electrical Test with The Okonite Company. Under my leadership, I manage the Quality, Warehousing, and Shipping departments. In each department, I drive on-time deliveries and develop continuous improvement solutions addressing production inefficiencies. I also support bottom-line business improvements through a number of cost-saving measures. In addition, I liaise with executive leadership and departmental teams to ensure the company’s support structure is driving the business forward with minimal expenditures.Colleagues describe me as a progressive, engaging, personable, and detail-oriented manufacturing operations expert who can be relied on to offer solutions that consistently deliver profitable results on time and under budget. I\'m often seen as a resourceful professional, who thinks outside the box to develop and implement short and long-term solutions.
