About Ken Hamall

The reality is most innovations fail, and few digital transformations succeed. I have demonstrated that you can flip those results positive by leveraging the ideal x-functional digital work process using the right data to solve the right economic problem with a strategy that delivers consistent value, project after project.With 30+ years of sustained success across industries, I tackle complex problems by aligning engineering precision with economic reality.Selected Career Milestones (Reasons To Believe)- NASA: Revolutionized Space Shuttle Engine reliability, extending bearing life 1 to 25+ missions- Photocircuits Corp: Slashed manufacturing changeover times >80% through automation- P&G Engineering: Systems engineered manufacturing equipment with 25+ years continuous reliable operation at 2x speed- P&G Global Platform Portfolio Financial Optimization: Pioneered economic modeling that delivered $4B top-line /$1B bottom-line growth, outperforming standard projects by 10x NPV- P&G Strategic Procurement: Applied advanced economic modeling to supplier negotiations, capturing >$1B in additional value- P&G Digital Transformation: Built the industry’s first data lakes years ahead of competitors; driving $50M+/yr in productivity & providing a critical advantage during COVID-19 to citizen data scientists- P&G Supply Chain Resilience: Developed autonomous E2E planning solutions:+3% On Time In Full improvements at a supply chain master,+30% planner productivity-50% non-structural transport costs, 20% fewer changeovers and 30% less innovation scrap- University of Cincinnati Adjunct Professor: Teaching Graduate Engineering students how to economically model any supply chain to maximize value creation.\"This is how every class should be\"Why My Approach: Early in my career, I spent a year following orders on a project destined to fail. I vowed then to never work on a project without knowing exactly what must be true today to deliver value. In a world that pivots rapidly, this value focused today mindset has ensured sustained success.Bring Me In If- You are under-delivering on innovation value or ROI- Your innovation pipeline lacks sufficiency or confidence- You need to digitally upgrade work processes and need to maximize delivered value- You want to work smarter, not harder.Don’t Bring Me In If- You believe your current operations are already optimal- You aren’t ready to candidly discuss your problems- You aren’t ready for real change. Ready to accelerate value creation? DM me: “STEP 1 I HAVE A PROBLEM”

Experience

1. Director Global Digital Supply Chain Innovation Transformation Leader

   Procter & Gamble

   Aug 2019 — Present · Cincinnati, KY, US

   Create end to end predictive and prescriptive optimization/machine learning models to maximize delivered value spanning cost, cash and service metrics and that enable testing of supply chain strategy robustness for a single plant and the network. Result – Identified inconsistencies in forecasts, strategies and tactics throughout the process which are being addressed with new daily work process tools which will further increase productivity while delivering lower cost, inventory and higher service. This has also reduced staffing and transportation plan fluctuations resulting in more than $2 million in savings and more than $30 million in opportunities.
