Two years in Inventory Control doing cycle counts, bill-of-material audits, physical inventories, etc for the business unit. Last ten years doing engineering change planning. Involves managing the materials implementation of engineering changes, getting the new parts on order, cutting off orders of the old parts, reworking or scrapping of the old parts, while minimizing cost to the business and impact to the manufacturing floor.

Started in Cost Accounting tracking production costs for computers, copiers, typewriters etc, working my way through a myriad of financial planning positions culminating in the top financial planning position at the plant. After nine years in Finance transferred to Production Control where I prepared the Inventory plan for the plant and managed the avg $300M annual inventory for the next 7 years.
