Background

About Craig Sutherland

My experience is mostly related to maintenance, but I have spent the last several years working on cost reduction implementation ideas and reducing the footprint NUMMI has using natural resources. Reducing day to day costs by applying the "Just in Time" principals and using the Toyota Production Standards becomes ingrained in you after this many years. During the time spent managing the Tool Repair Crib, I realized that small items can save lots of money for the company. My goal is to take this mind-set to another company and apply the principals to make further savings and a better environment for the people working there and the surrounding community. Specialties: My specialty is a "customer first" approach to all aspects of the task at hand and verifying results that are measurable and creating an atmosphere of trust between the company and the vendor. This has served me well at NUMMI.
