Background

About Randy Prather

I've always been in awe of the gifted mechanics who can fearlessly disassemble a car's engine with the confidence that they will be able to put it back together at the end. As my career has progressed, I've learned that I have a similar talent for understanding process. Here are are few examples that show how I've been able to use this skill throughout my career. Process Engineering - At Housemax Funding I created and documented all processes for a small company which enabled them to grow from a company trading assets of $8 million per month to over $50 million per month (600%+ growth) in less than two years. Operations Management - At Wells Fargo, I managed expenses for a $130 million budget with accuracy that allowed us to project our year-end within 0.002% at mid-year, and reduce annual accruals to 0.26%. Project Management - At DR Horton, I managed a project using schematics to reduce sheetrock waste resulting in a annual, repeatable savings. Project Planning - At Centex Homes, I oversaw the the building of a prototype house to identify risks and opportunities. I did the project planning which resulted in a 5% direct cost saving through increased accuracy of estimates. Technical Writing - At Housemax Funding, I designed the company's first employee procedural handbook by job shadowing every position in the company and documenting every process. I love diving in to understand a process and find where I can improve it to increase throughput, reduce errors, and save money that adds to the bottom line.
