Rocky Lopez

As a dedicated, results-oriented leader with demonstrated success in developing customer-driven solutions and advancing business initiatives, I have been recognized for continuously seeking creative and innovative strategies. I have a strong track record of establishing and strengthening partnerships and have broad knowledge of business concepts to yield the best results. I have extensive experience in managing projects and working collaboratively across departments and teams. Key Accomplishments: • Established inventory cycle counts and organized warehouse racking, improving inventory accuracy by 20% and reducing production down time. • Invented ReMix, my first patent, as a result of an organization-wide challenge to develop an environmentally-friendly product from waste scrap trimmings. This in-demand product is difficult to keep in stock due to high customer popularity. • Developed project initiative to store and repair aluminum plates instead of discarding plates with minimal imperfections. This reduced costs and saved 3form $90-$100K in the first year of implementation and created a potential revenue stream to recycle plates each month. • Reduced shift miss rate from 50% to 4.5% by tracking miss rate data, focusing on problem areas, and implementing training and continuous improvement programs while increasing many launch to manufacturing pass rates by using analytical skills and deductive reasoning. • Increased gross profit margin by driving lean initiatives and leading Kaizen events. This led to the reduction of product build times by 50% across the production floor by implementing 5S and SMED concepts and reduced waste by laying out the value stream map and removing the non-value add steps. • Led reorganization initiatives in moving production from batch processing to single piece flow cell manufacturing. This reduced labor costs, consumables, and tooling costs and improved lead-time from ten to five business days.
