Lean University -- Race City
USA for Manufacturers
It's time to meet your
instructors.
Bob Williamson, president,
Strategic Work Systems
 Bob Williamson spent nearly 15 years studying the
relationship between NASCAR Winston/Nextel Cup racing and
improvements in manufacturing and maintenance. He has been
teaching and consulting on the people side of Total
Productive Maintenance for more than 13 years, most recently
incorporating the NASCAR themes for improving equipment
effectiveness for Lean Manufacturing operations.
Bob brings his years of
experience down to a practical common-sense level. You can
use his ideas to get results immediately.
Bob's 32
years in manufacturing and maintenance training, consulting
and work-culture design give him keen insight to the
solutions of today's equipment reliability challenges.
Bob probably knows more about Lean maintenance and NASCAR
than any other person on earth. He is easy to understand and
provides thoughtful observations and instructions on how to
make your maintenance programs more efficient. With experience in more than 400 different plant locations
in the U.S., Jamaica, Canada, South America and Saudi
Arabia, his examples provide rich, down-to-earth
breakthroughs in equipment reliability thinking.
Mark Gooch, vice president
of Lean enterprise, Pentair
 Lean
is a journey. Nobody knows this more that Mark. He is going
to show how to internalize Lean transformation so it isn't
what you do; it is what you are.
He has applied Lean tools and process in health care,
distribution, aerospace, electrical components, retail
stores and various other industries.
Though he now serves in this
role with Pentair,
Mark has held senior leadership positions with GE Aircraft Engines,
Goodrich Aerospace and Williams-International. Mark’s extensive
lean background encompasses global operations with 15 people, to
organizations with more than 30,000 employees.
Scott Teerlinck, director
of customer support and maintenance, Rockwell Automation
Rockwell Automation adopted Lean early on. The company
saw its potential and seized upon the opportunity. In our
first-ever Lean Manufacturing University back in 2002,
Rockwell Automation CEO Keith Nosbusch presented Rockwell's
Lean vision for the future. At our upcoming event in March,
Rockwell director of customer support and maintenance Scott
Teerlinck will show how the company has applied its lessons
in Lean to its maintenance department.
Scott joined Rockwell Automation in 1994 as
a sales engineer trainee and has held progressive positions
within the field sales organization including Global Account
Team Leader for Eastman Kodak and Branch Manager of the
Rochester, N.Y. office. In June 2005, Scott was named
director of commercial marketing for the customer support
and maintenance (CSM) business. His role includes leading
commercial marketing and business development resources that
interface with Rockwell Automation sales employees,
customers and channel partners. Scott is responsible for
identifying and implementing commercial strategies and
programs to help grow market share, improve CSM
profitability, and promote customer solutions on a worldwide
basis. Scott earned his MBA from the Rochester Institute of
Technology and his bachelor’s degree in electrical
engineering from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Breon Klopp, senior
director, motor sports development,
PIT Instruction & Training
 Breon
will show you how high-performance pit stops and
high-performance maintenance/production teams are similar. Tenths of a second on
the race track yield thousands of dollars in victory lane.
On the plant floor, removing waste from your processes will
produce similar monetary rewards.
PIT is the motor sports
industry leader in pit team athlete training and motor
sports empirical and performance programming. PIT is the
official Crew Member Development Partner of Drive for
Diversity in cooperation with NASCAR. Breon is chairperson of
the MSI Motor Sports Industry Committee and a member
of the NASCAR Nextel All Star Race Local Organizing
Committee.
Patrick Bernall, PIT
Instruction & Training
 Patrick
will lead the pit crew training portion of the event. He has
extensive experience in NASCAR, having served as jack man
for the #45 Kyle Petty race team and front-tire carrier for
the #4 Morgan-McClure Motorsports team. Patrick understands
the parallels between Lean in the pit box and Lean on the
plant floor. He will demonstrate these parallels for you by
putting you in a position to experience them yourself. This
is where you will take your learning from the classroom and
implement it in the real world.
