Operations Supervision by Joseph P. Curry
In this presentation I will answer many of your
questions about me as your new Operations Supervisor /
Manager.
“I am the Leader you are looking for.”
Please call me “Joe”
Leadership - In my own words, is convincing people to do the correct thing through communication and example. Rewarding them when they excel and helping them when they do not. A leader is trusted by the team that reports to him and by the team he reports to.

Education
- 3 AS
I did not have the option or a strong desire to attend college immediately after high school. I felt the need to get out, work and see what life was about. When I did go back to school, I continued to work. As a result, none of my education was paid for with loans, grants or scholarships. As you can see I continued educating myself even after earning my bachelors degree. I am proud of these accomplishments.
1992 - AS Pre-engineering (Honors) 2003 - AS Chem Lab Tech (Honors)
1996 – BS Tech Studies

Weaknesses
“I hate to discuss my weaknesses.”
I overextend myself at times, take on more than can be managed effectively.
Poor hearing - compensate by asking people to repeat themselves.
(but I tend to be a good listener)
Although I am a good communicator, like most people - I am always trying to improve my skills. I am working on “Polish”
Examples of my Successes
Revamped shipping procedures
Problem solving manualsI asked the top operators on my team to help me put together a manual of all the most common problems and solutions on the folders. We added photographs and drawings for clarity. This was used to help train new operators. It made solving folder problems more logical and gave everyone a reference when stumped.
Took shipping from a 4x5” 3-part carbonless packing list to an automated Excel spreadsheet which we e-mailed to the CSR and customer before the order left the dock. Allowing them to review shipments early. This decreased shipping errors and increased on time deliveries.
Concurrently, I involved personnel in rewriting and updating all ISO documents for shipping and receiving to accurately reflect changes. This aided me to improve the crews effectiveness
I can provide documentation of the above two examples as well as others.

Conclusion
The plant I currently work at is closing soon. My current company has been a great place to work and learn. While there are opportunities to relocate, it makes sense to explore all options.
What type of opportunity am I searching for and why?
Searching for another great company to work for. Obviously I am focused on Production and Supervision. I hope to turn this search into an excellent career move and I am willing to relocate.
