Steve Waszak, PMP

Experience, Knowledge, Common Sense

Steve has over 20 years of experience in operational productivity improvement and planning with a strong understanding of the cost benefits attained through quality, improved supplier relationships and a customer focused approach to business. 

International Experience

His international experience and his ability to adapt to multicultural arenas provide critical expertise required to work in both domestic and multinational organizations alike.  He has worked in the U.S., Mexico, and China and he has managed projects across North America, Europe, and Asia working with companies such as Bourns, Medtronic, Polaroid, and Rain Bird.

Real World Experience

Steve's "real world" experience comes from years of working in progressive roles.  He started his manufacturing career during his first year of college as an assembly technician, moving on to starting his own engineering design and manufacturing company eight years later.  

After selling his product lines to an OEM, he spent six years working in a vertically integrated plant, where he had the great fortune of working for a tier one supplier to the Ford Motor Company, Motorola, and other world class organizations.  This provided years of hands-on experience exercising six-sigma, implementing lean initiatives, and managing continuous improvement programs.  

The most recent years have been spent both utilizing the experiences gained, as well as learning, while providing expertise and project management services to a number of companies throughout the world.

Publications

In the late 1980's, Steve presented various papers at technical conferences, which were subsequently published.  He was also published in Converting Magazine (March 1989), providing the cover story related to setting standards for metallizers.  

Results-Oriented

Steve's strong people skills, business savvy and technical aptitude achieve a results-oriented team environment that fosters self-motivation, open acceptance of responsibility and a positive attitude toward new challenges and change.
