My first engineering experience was in a manufacturing plant performing time studies to determine rate of processes. I didn't realize at the time I was learning early in my career the importance of Takt time. I am here to help optimize your processes, employees, and business as a whole.

Lean Director
Alan strongly believes ownership and leadership are key in driving operational improvements. For the last 14 years, he has been improving processes as an engineer, a leader, and a Director. His journey started long before his professional career when he worked in shipping, followed by welding, machining, and assembly on summer vacations. He is a problem-solver with the ability to see multiple options and work closely with every level of the organization to achieve success. Alan has an expansive knowledge and skill in developing and conducting Lean trainings and 3-Pillar workshops with Operations, Sales, and Purchasing. As a Lean Director, he ensures the roadmap, vision, and workshops are aligned with operational excellences and reducing lead time and waste in all processes. In his free time, Alan enjoys days on the lake or in the mountains with his friends and family.
I love to understand how the world works so analyzing equipment and processes comes natural to me. I can visualize myself in everyone's shoes to see their challenges and their strengths. I have always been curious and I desire to continue learning and sharing my skills to help others.
