Newmont Mining Corporation

August, 2006 - Present            Elko, Nevada

I was brought in to help manage a large reengineering program to overhaul the processes by which the Maintenance and Supply Chain departments work together to ensure the effective and efficient maintenance of Newmont's large fleets of massive equipment used to mine gold across Nevada.

The program team, chartered for a two year term, consisted of five project managers and support staff.  The team managed multiple projects to review existing processes, identify and define best practices, and disseminate these practices throughout the state.

We developed a program dashboard to monitor several key metrics to gauge the success of the program initiatives.  Based on data extracted from the corporate ERP system, the dashboard provided both strategic and tactical reporting that enabled Newmont personnel at all levels to see the changes being made through the program.

The cornerstone of the entire program was the construction and implementation of a $16 million centralized warehouse in Elko to support operations statewide.  The program redefined all processes regarding warehousing, operations management, and delivery to nine mine sites spread across northern Nevada.  The warehouse was designed to hold 29,000 stock codes, ranging from the smallest washer to massive replacement engines for the 190 ton Caterpillar 793 haul trucks that make up Newmont's surface hauling fleet.

Once the program had concluded its original charter, I have continued supporting a smaller team of managers and subject matter experts to continue to monitor performance, identify trouble areas, and constitute tiger teams to develop immediate solutions.
