About John Misner

Almost all quality improvement comes via simplification of design, layout, processes, and procedures.” -Tom Peters Throughout my 20-year career of leadership, I have worked to align team operations with company goals through detailed strategic planning, creating standard communications, and developing process improvements that positively impact the efficiency of all business units. I have spearheaded projects that draw on lean/agile methods to surpass KPI expectations, reduce reliance on outdated technology, and leveraged data to understand better where opportunities had gone undiscovered. Working with global vendors and cross-functional staff, I have contributed to attaining both financial and customer service objectives via a combination of world-class delivery, diligent inventory management, team leadership, and spend optimization. Some of my favorite stories: My team boosted sales 18% by increasing product availability 97%, aligning front- and back-end team efforts, and driving a full Sales & Operations Planning Process. I reduced leftover inventory 30%(~$2M) by improving forecast accuracy with a ’Big Data’ Demand Plan model using +250K points of data. I recovered $750K+ in annual obsolescence losses, reducing raw material inventory by 17% and cutting stock-outs by 50% within 1 year. My team consistently delivered on a >99% on-time shipping rate for >1M items annually.
