About Noah Elias-Guy

I\'ve worked across supply chain and manufacturing operations with a focus on continuous improvement and cross-functional project work. In my most recent role, I led core workstreams in a $3.6M+ warehouse expansion and relocation project for the aerospace coatings business, driving operational design, risk management, transport planning, and coordination with a 3PL partner. I also led the design and implementation of new packing lines, using feedback from operators to achieve a 22% improvement in packing productivity.After the warehouse went live, I took on operational leadership responsibilities, resolving process disruptions and stabilizing the new facility\'s performance, resulting in a throughput increase of 10%.My background also includes CI and operations-focused engineering work, where I managed end-to-end improvement projects and solved issues affecting production processes, notably driving a project to stabilize a $5M manufacturing unit and bring uptime from ~15% to ~90%.I enjoy work where I can identify a problem, focus on where effort is best spent, and then support a team so that we can deliver a solution that lasts.
