I
retired after almost 36 years of continuous service at Gibbs Die Casting
Corporation, in I
have gained valuable knowledge in my years at Gibbs, working in varied
capacities such as Safety, Human Resources, and
other Administrative areas, Quality, and Lean Manufacturing principles. For
the last 20-plus years, I have headed the activity of developing and optimizing the
Quality systems at Gibbs to meet the challenges of ISO 9000, QS9000,
and TS16949. This has resulted in
achieving and maintaining these customer-mandated Quality certifications
since 1998. Since
the early 1990’s, I have served as the in-house “Lean Guru” at Gibbs,
working initially with Toyota advisors to foster lean principles of
manufacturing, both on the manufacturing floor and in support areas. I have also been able to gain an even wider
base of knowledge through involvement in supplier or customer organizations
such as the Toyota-associated BAMA (Bluegrass Automotive Manufacturer’s
Association) and the Honda Lean Network.
It is through these activities that I have had the opportunity to
witness lean application at diverse manufacturing companies, always working
to both learn TPS/Lean principles and offer ideas for further improvements
at these companies. I have also gained
vast experience as I successfully applied these principles to improve
processes at Gibbs Die Casting. That
experience has also included global travel and interactions with
multiple cultures, as I successfully provided lean methods training
and implementation facilitation to Gibbs plants in Perhaps
there is an opportunity for me to help other companies succeed, through Quality
System Development or auditing, Training, Problem-Solving, Lean
Methodology enhancement or Cost-reduction / Productivity
enhancement areas. You’ll want to look
at a brochure that
outlines some of the services my company, McGan Business Solutions, can
provide. I’d
like to talk with you further to discuss sharing my knowledge with your
team. I can be contacted by email at dmcgan@mcgangroup.com or by phone
at 270-823-2831. I look forward to
hearing from you. With best regards, David McGan |
