process. I have served in a management role for the past 13 years. I understand manufacturing and have
proven success in leadership roles. My ability to communicate to all levels of the organization has proven
effective in managing projects, driving change and managing employee relations. I am confident that my
leadership skills will benefit your organization.

I am an advocate for change and improvement. My management style promotes independent thinking with a
guiding hand approach to development; while simultaneously raising the expectation as my reports grow. By
communicating to all levels of an organization, I have had success gaining the respect of my reports, peers
and leaders. I have a diversified background that includes areas such as Machine Operation, Machine Design,
Project Management, Product Development, P&L Management, Custom Application Development and
Enterprise System Integration. I have strengths in inventory management, with a track record of improving
efficiencies and driving down cost.

My depth of operation knowledge stems from working my way up from entry level positions to upper
management. It is this attribute that sets me apart from most Executives. I am a firm believer that you have
to understand your business before you can effectively manage your business. This attitude has served me
well in understanding the best course of action that will not only benefit the business, but also maintain
employee morale.

Success has also followed me with regards to results. I have a history of operations improvements in every
role that I have been placed. I am quick to understand the economics of the operations and what factors
affect these. With this understanding, I have a history of setting goals and metrics to align employee efforts
with organizational requirements.

Thank you for your consideration for this position and please let me know if I can answer any questions. I
look forward to hearing from you soon on this opportunity.

Respectfully yours,

James Lanman
