About
I considered myself as a Continuous Improvement professional with 10 years of combined experience across Canadian furniture manufacturing and Nigerian real estate development, including seven years in a leadership capacity. Six months of formal Toyota Production System (TPS) training with hands-on experience in standard work, communication boards, structured problem-solving systems, root cause analysis, and sustaining improvements. Skilled in collecting, compiling, and analyzing performance and financial data labour, waste, and OEE to drive cost reduction and manufacturing optimization, tracking project progress with project management tools, and leading cross-functional Continuous Improvement project teams.
A postgraduate credential in Business Analytics and a BSc in Economics provide a strong data-driven, root-cause approach to shop-floor problem-solving.
Experience

- Perform daily leadership rounds across the shop floor, coaching operators in real time and owning follow-up on identified issues, resolving the majority of flagged concerns within the same shift.
- Collect, compile, and analyze performance and financial data — including labor, waste, and OEE — to surface root causes of recurring losses, contributing to measurable reductions in scrap and downtime.
- Apply PDCA and root cause analysis to investigate chronic quality and productivity issues, testing and sustaining countermeasures that improved standardized work compliance by an estimated 20%.
- Track progress and provide status updates on Continuous Improvement projects using project management tools, leading improvement sub-tracks from concept through implementation.
- Support capital improvement recommendations and productivity-pipeline planning by quantifying inefficiency and waste at the workstation level, informing leadership prioritization discussions.
- Lead and educate a four-person Continuous Improvement team on 5S, visual management, Jidoka, Poka-Yoke, and Just-in-Time principles, helping spread a data-driven CI culture across adjacent work cells.
- Communicate improvement opportunities and implementation needs across operators, facilitators, supervisors, and Continuous Improvement leaders to keep the floor aligned on shared priorities

- Monitored operational and financial performance, prepared management reports, and tracked progress against plans to support data-informed, root-cause-driven decisions.
- Led structured problem-solving discussions, assigned responsibilities, and followed up on corrective actions, escalating risks affecting timelines, quality, safety, or customer commitments.
- Supported procurement, vendor performance, budget control, regulatory compliance, and quality inspections across active projects, tightening cost control across the project portfolio.
