Beau Groover

Proven results oriented leader in Continuous Improvement, team and leadership development and Operations Management.20 years of experience in Operations Management, Manufacturing, Supply chain and Continuous Improvement, I have compiled a very broad and effective skill set. For over 13 years, I worked with experts in the Toyota Production System learning how to apply Lean Methodologies in both Manufacturing and Transactional (office) environments. I enjoy working through the rigors of creating clear alignment between the big-picture goals with the tactical objectives, and then executing the tactical plans to ensure results.In addition to an MBA, I also have SS Master Black Belt, and Lean certified from the Association of Manufacturing Excellence (AME). I enjoy public speaking and have presented at several trade organization meetings on the topic of Lean, Six Sigma and Continuous Improvement.
