  • 15. I am proud to have hired Kevin for the Emco Wheaton USA, Inc. Director of Operations position. He has demonstratedthroughout his career with Emco Wheaton that he possesses the necessary business knowledge and skills to manage a manufacturing business. Additionally, he implemented the proper tools and metrics to bring this business under control.He employed Lean manufacturing principles to drive out waste, improve performance, reduce inventory, and drive dramatic bottom line performance. Lean principles were not adopted prior to Kevins employment and he successfully deployed cultural changes to achieve full Lean adoption throughout thecompany. All of this occurred in a declining economy when cost reduction performance was paramount to success. I would recommend Kevin for any upper level management position where clear direction, process improvement, and operational excellence are necessary.Winfried KaiserV.P. & General Manager (Former)Emco Wheaton Strategic Business Unit Leader
