Patrick Byrnes

Seeking a position with a stable, growing company in warehouse operations or front counter service. I have 40 years of leadership experience. I am looking to step down from management to work in a more operation-oriented role.

I bring a wealth of knowledge in planning, procedures, training and safety. I have set up new warehouses and built large teams. The people who have worked for me will always say I was hands on, safe and willing to do anything to get the job done properly and safely in a professional manner.

Warehouse and distribution manager - Clearwing Productions - Arvada, CO

(2022-07 - 2024-10)

Installer of audio/visual systems for theaters, auditoriums and churches.

• Opened the new warehouse
• Built all the local systems and procedures
• Built an inventory system to track the inventory. We were using Quick books and the inventory system in Quick books was not adequate for our products. Maintained cycle counts
• Learned shipping and receiving for Clearwing, everything was sent as kits. These kits were received by serial numbers, assemblies and sub-assemblies. These were very expensive and large kits, so everything was checked for damage and quality. These kits were sent out in the field, quite often a few hundred miles away so accuracy was mandatory
• Transportation, we had two trucks, one an F150 service truck and the other was a Kenworth non-CDL delivery truck. I was responsible for both trucks and used the delivery truck all over the state to deliver the products to the installation crews. I also returned old product for recycling
• Learned SAP program Q360 on my own as we transitioned to this much better system. Entered all data into the Q360 system and I was used to teach others the new system as the main instructors were very busy
• Shipping of products, LTL, FTL and package. We shipped directly to customers and between warehouses
