ABOUT JOHN KIRCHGESSNER
Transforming Manufacturing Operations • $20M+ P&L Leadership • 25+ Years Driving ResultsI\'ve spent my career turning around underperforming manufacturing operations and leading them to profitability. In my current role at Goodyear, I took equipment running at 53% efficiency and drove it to 84% – that\'s real money and real impact for the business.What I do: I lead manufacturing operations with full P&L responsibility, specializing in operational turnarounds, team development, and driving measurable results in challenging environments.My track record includes: • Increasing profit margins from 12.4% to 25.5% at EIT through operational excellence • Leading $20.5M annual budgets while maintaining +/- 2% inventory accuracy • Successfully managing both union and non-union environments across automotive, industrial, and specialty manufacturing • Implementing lean manufacturing systems that deliver lasting change, not just short-term fixes.Industries I\'ve transformed: Automotive (GM, Tesla, Goodyear), Industrial Manufacturing, Medical Devices, and Specialty Vehicles.What sets me apart: I don\'t just manage operations – I build high-performing teams and create sustainable cultures of continuous improvement. Whether it\'s leading a 3-shift Kaizen event that reduces changeover time by 45% or rebuilding union relations after years of conflict, I focus on people-first leadership that delivers bottom-line results.Currently: Leading Final Finish and Curing operations at Goodyear\'s Fayetteville facility, managing tires daily production while developing the next generation of manufacturing leaders.Looking ahead: Always interested in connecting with fellow manufacturing leaders and discussing how operational excellence drives business success. Whether you\'re facing a turnaround challenge or looking to take performance to the next level, let\'s connect.DM or email me:j••••••••@comcast.net
