I established CE Maintenance Solutions, LLC in 2004 to provide maintenance training, coaching, and consulting services to facility and manufacturing organizations. In this time of increased economic pressure to relocate operations to lower-cost geographical regions or reduce operation costs by outsourcing support functions (i.e. maintenance), it is increasingly critical to assess your current operational status. Once identified, developing future performance goals and constructing short- and long-range plans will insure World Class performance, continuous improvement and increased profits.
My background includes over 35 years of hands-on experience in the production maintenance and facility engineering fields. I have extensive experience in all aspects of facility management, computerized maintenance management systems (CMMS), contract maintenance, utility operations, project engineering and senior engineering management.
My Mechanical Engineering education as well as my experience in working with an extensive number of manufacturing industries as well as in all of the major types of facility operations both private and governmental agencies, has given me an unusual insight into how organizations operate. Their underlying cultures can assist them in their growth and success or prevent them from changing and moving forward in a positive direction. Read More
