Dean H. Stanton · Role Profile

Manufacturing Leadership & Transformation

For manufacturing environments where engineering, automation, labor, systems, quality, supply, product, and operating economics must be managed as one system.

Why this record may be relevant

Operating fit before job-title fit.

My manufacturing background runs from industrial and manufacturing engineering through executive responsibility for plants, labor, systems, product transfer, quality, and operating performance.

I tend to look at the factory as a connected system. The useful question is rarely whether one machine or one department can improve. It is how product, process, equipment, people, information, quality, materials, and economics have to change together to improve the operation.
