About Charles Marshall

With over 15 years of experience leading operations in manufacturing and engineering across the U.S. and the UK, I specialize in transforming underperforming plants into high-performing, profitable operations. My expertise spans plant management, lean manufacturing, and workforce development, with a proven record of delivering multi-million-dollar savings, double-digit efficiency gains, and zero-incident safety cultures. I am passionate about developing high performing teams coaching, training, and inspiring employees into future leaders while creating engaged, motivated workforces. By implementing Lean Manufacturing tools such as 5S, Continuous Improvement, RCA, Visual Management, Gemba Walks, and Kaizen events, I have consistently: Increased plant efficiency from 60% to 90% Boosted output by 133% on critical production lines Reduced employee turnover by 25%, saving $250K annually Achieved zero OSHA recordables through proactive safety systems Beyond operations, I am highly skilled in data-driven decision-making, leveraging ERP/MRP systems (SAP, Kronos, FIIX, Trackwise) and advanced Excel modeling to analyze performance, forecast production, and track KPIs with accuracy. I thrive at the intersection of strategic vision and hands on execution aligning people, processes, and technology to achieve operational excellence, cost control, and scalable growth. As I advance in my career, I am seeking opportunities to bring this expertise to organizations where I can drive transformation, optimize resources, and deliver measurable results at scale.
