SELECTED RESPONSIBILITIES AND ACCOMPLISHMENTS
 Managed all aspects of a $70 million business including the P&L, operations, sales, product development, materials acquisition, hiring and firing, strategic planning and product manufacture.
 Increased company division revenue $35 million in a 3-year period through research and analysis of holes in the market. Implemented the presentation of our product, its quality and availability and costing, to key decision-makers.
 Expertise in purchasing raw materials and manufacturing products in international markets. Coordinated the complex flow of raw materials from multiple countries of origin to different countries of manufacture.
 Researched avenues of enriched revenue for the company on an ongoing basis. Participated in informational gathering meetings to probe potential new business ventures and various acquisitions.
 Increased productivity and decreased exceptions by restructuring the bonus system to include the day to day worker. Prior to this only management had received bonuses. Now all employees had a stake in the financial goals of the company.
 Saved $250,000 for the company division by reorganizing the purchasing system to one centralized area. This increased the purchasing power for the company division substantially. New policies and procedures were established to augment this new system.
 Analyzed, restructured, and merged the budgets of sales and production into one. Coordinated the implementation of the new budgeting process and the training of all departments involved. As a result of this initiative, more accurate budgeting and forecasting could be achieved.
 Eliminated product delivery delays through initiation of a cross-training program in operations. Employees were trained in a variety of tasks, which alleviated the delay in input of time-sensitive information.
Robert F. McDevitt…Page 2
 Rallied the best of both the Operations and Marketing Departments through implementation of group meetings, activities, and focused removal of a “we- versus- them” attitude. Successfully built a cohesive, goal-oriented team from these two departments.
 Saved over $1 million through reorganization and streamlining of the division’s operational area. Unnecessary and redundant work processes were eliminated.
 Saved $150,000 for the company by reducing the production of off-quality goods. Worked with suppliers to determine the cause of out-of-spec raw materials due to manufacturing processes. Succeeded in increasing the quality of raw materials, and hence the quality of our products which could be manufactured without prior quality losses, thereby creating more profit.
 Spearheaded an inventory reduction program that trimmed $8 million or 25% of excesses through restructuring of inventory planning, cycle times, and improvements in supply chain methodology.
 Improved customer gross margins 5 – 10% by implementing a program, which assisted these clientele in the management of their inventories. Analyzed each customer’s sales history and generated an individualized plan for that location.
 Increased gross margin for the company division $500,000 through research and determination of new manufacturing locations. Demographics, working relationships, cultural differences as well as cultural abilities all had to be taken into consideration within this analysis.
