Regis Luther joined Stewart & Stevenson Services, Inc., in December 1991. In 1995 he became the Director of Engineering and reorganized/streamlined/downsized the department for dramatically improved performance. Regis led the team through a product reliability and performance improvement effort that resulted in reliability that surpassed 200%. Completed the development and completion of the vehicle Level III data package and successful 100% Physical Configuration Audit (PCA). Regis was then assigned additional responsibility for Logistics and lead completion of the vehicle Class V, Interactive Electronic Technical Manual (IETM). In After Market Services, he downsized the organization and reduced inventory by 70%, reduced Cost of Goods Sold (COGS) by 37% with profitability improving by 24%. Given the additional responsibility for the quality organization resulted in a department reorganization/downsize where he lead the lean manufacturing implementation of “One Piece Flow” through the assembly operation with a multi-process kaizen. Cycle time was reduced from greater than 54 days to less than 14. Defect reduction showed a corresponding positive trend by decreasing more than 82%. Snapshot metrics were developed, installed and remain in place. Prior to TVS, Regis was a Senior Test Director at the world’s largest outdoor test facility (Aberdeen Test Center). While at ATC, Regis tested nearly every U.S. Army wheeled vehicle in use today. He was also the Test Course Inspection Committee Chairman and lead the change in inspection vehicle from a 151 Jeep to a highly instrumented HMMWV. Regis graduated from Youngstown State University in Ohio where he received his Bachelor’s degree in Chemical Engineering. He received his Master’s degree in Chemical Engineering at The Johns Hopkins University and his Executive MBA with honors at the University of Houston. Regis has also completed the Project Management Program conducted through the University of Houston. Regis is a Certified Configuration Manager, Automotive Service Excellence (ASE) Certified Truck Technician and a member of the Society of Automotive Engineers. Regis also holds a first degree black belt in Martial Arts. Regis and his wife, Becky, have two sons and reside in Houston, Texas. Regis lists his top recreational activities as karate, golf, weight lifting, bike riding and coaching soccer and football.
