ABOUT JOHN P. LAWSON
Integrating strategy, big data analytics and robust tactical execution, I most recently led 4 global teams consisting of 33 John Deere Power Systems (JDPS) and Intelligent Solutions (ISG) employees to deliver innovative solutions and exceptional value. During my tenure we achieved benchmark level product quality goals and pioneered a remote firmware update that significantly reduced customer downtime and realized savings exceeding $10M. As an experienced leader and ASQ certified Six Sigma Black Belt I leverage extensive process improvement expertise over numerous functional areas to exceed ambitious efficiency and cost savings objectives. My journey includes multiple awards from executive management for exceptional achievement including spearheading a benchmark-setting warranty claim coding system which automated production of 300+ reports to predict and enhance machine reliability, leading a 5-year Factory Master Plan (FMP) strategy and successfully planning and implementing a multi-million-dollar product relocation and improvement project over multiple countries, divisions, facilities and functional areas. My passion to develop current employees into future leaders, extensive cross-functional experience and diverse cultural expertise from working across the US, Europe and China has fostered a leadership style focusing on collaboration and rapid continual improvement.My journey includes multiple awards from executive management for exceptional achievement including spearheading a benchmark-setting warranty claim coding system which automated production of 300+ reports to predict and enhance machine reliability, leading a 5-year Factory Master Plan (FMP) strategy and successfully planning and implementing a multi-million-dollar product relocation and improvement project over multiple countries, divisions, facilities and functional areas.
