Background

About Jamie Powell

I get stuff done. I can significantly increase efficiency, reliability, engagement and HSQE standards with a team, delivering on time, safely, for less. I offer practical innovative solutions driven by actual observed work space dynamics and customer requirements, supported by appropriate technology and informed by selected, relevant data models. Continuous Improvement (CI), Good Manufacturing Process (GMP)/ Good Warehouse Process (GWP), 5s and "clean as you go" culture, Production line / work process up time management (24/7 SCADA, PLC, mechanical and electrical trouble shooting and engineering escalations processes, required schedule deviation mitigation), Work Process Optimization (ergonomics, traffic interactions, layout, inter-related processes, task switching costs, variable/context dependent activity costs, bottle neck analysis, Finite State Model invariants, complexity analysis, worst case and amortized time costing, modelling relevance and assumption validation), MIFOT and DIFOT compliance, Safety systems (Risk Analysis Matrix, Hierarchy of Controls, Incident Reporting, JSA, SWI and COR compliance, online inductions/training matrix), QA and Reliability Engineering (no single point of failure, Hazard Analysis Tables / material flow / HACCP Critical Control points, QA sampling compliance), Labor Cost Reduction. Inventory accuracy: location / movement tracing and production back flush (BOM material cost reconciliation to budget and cycle counts, traceability requirements). Hands on where required: Heavy rigid truck, EWP and high risk work licenced, Trade Assistant experienced including basic fitting/industrial mechanical and user level switch room. Forklift operations, production line setting, adjustment, control, monitoring and training, pick pack trainer and pace setter, loading dock control, shift supervision. Pre industrial experience spans Internet Data Centre solution sales, Business Development, Executive Search. Mathematics and computer science algorithmic principles (advanced undergraduate and extra curricular): assessed top 1% of IT graduates and all graduates nationally for transferable critical thinking skills (2004), represented Sydney University in Association of Computing Machinery Asia Pacific Undergraduate Problem Solving Competition (2002). SCADA industrial direct control and batching systems: Rockwell automation. ERP: SAP. WMS: SAP, Ironbark, Paperless Warehousing, Red Prairie (limited exposure). TMS: Ignition (limited exposure).
