One project that I drove and implemented while at Apex Tool Group was creating a plant-wide continuous improvement incentive program. This project encourages and gives a structured process for hourly associates to submit any idea for improvements that they may have. The program looks for any ideas that fall under safety, quality, delivery, or cost and aim to improve, reduce waste, or generate savings for Apex Tool Group.

During my time with Apex Tool Group the one project I spent the most time on was creating a digital streamlined tracker that production associates now use to enter machine utilization data autonomously. When I inherited the process it took three people a combined eight hours each day to complete. After the implementation of my application it now takes one person less than thirty minutes to complete. This resulted in a 93.75% reduction in process time and a $55,346 reduction in annual process cost.
