About Jamie Fore

You can call me a change agent, a quality aficionado, or simply an enthusiastic advocate for operational excellence. With a dynamic background spanning biotechnology, pharmaceuticals, manufacturing, and polymers, and a focus on products like renewable chemicals, sustainable aviation fuel, tires, seals, gaskets, and O-rings, I have honed my craft in fueling continuous improvement and steering quality management initiatives. In the realm of change management, I have thrived as a Lean Manufacturing Expert, leveraging Lean principles to orchestrate a substantial reduction in lead times, slashing them from 28 days to a mere 3 days for high-demand products. The pivotal transformation of a facility into a Just-in-Time supplier stands as a testament to my adeptness in streamlining processes, cutting inventory levels, and curbing associated costs. Quality Management is not just a domain for me; it is a calling. I take pride in my role of spearheading the institution of ISO9001 at four facilities, virtually from scratch. As a globe-trotting specialist, I have navigated the intricacies of onboarding new supply chains across Asia and have effectively curtailed scrap rates by up to 50% at suppliers in Vietnam, China, and Taiwan. My credentials speak volumes; I stand tall as a Certified Lead Auditor in ISO-9001, IATF-16949, ISO-14001, ISO-45001, and AS-9100 standards. With certifications as a Continuous Improvement Manager, Quality Manager, and Six Sigma Lean Black Belt Professional, my commitment to Lean Management and the pursuit of continuous improvement is unwavering. Unpacking my hands-on background in Process Management, Engineering Management, and Quality Management, it is clear that I possess a holistic understanding of product and process control cycles. I bring pragmatism to the table, recognizing that an imbalanced approach to Quality Management can be burdensome. Balance is my watchword. Roles such as Quality Manager and Continuous Improvement Manager resonate with my expertise, mirroring my proficiency in implementing ISO-9001 and IATF-16949. With an illustrious backdrop featuring stints at renowned companies like Michelin, ExxonMobil, and Suncor Energy, my professional journey defines a legacy of impact and transformation within quality-related domains. Constantly evolving, I actively seek opportunities for networking and engaging with fellow professionals. A fervent advocate of equality and diversity, I stand as a staunch supporter of Diverse and Gay-Friendly work environments. Let’s connect & see where new opportunities and collaboration take us!
