About the Author :
Chris McKellen started his career in the machine tool industry before moving to one of the world's leading compressor manufacturers. He was involved in setting up a new factory to manufacture air compressors, for use on the North Sea oil rigs, prior to taking up a group role in manufacturing engineering. His move to a specialist diesel engine manufacturer gave him an insight in to the benefits and pitfalls of the early flexible manufacturing systems and the need to increase productivity on such systems. Later, after joining the automotive division of a major US based group, he learned that some of the traditional planning tools and measures used throughout manufacturing industries could sometimes create major problems within the business. This realisation, coupled with the need to improve productivity in a highly unionised environment, led to his keen interest in Lean Manufacturing, the empowerment of employees and the constant drive to become World Class. He moved to the People's Republic of China to take total responsibility for setting up and the start up of a new World Class manufacturing plant for automotive components. This plant is now recognised as the benchmark plant for quality and productivity in the turbocharger business. Following his return to the UK, he co-ordinated the six-sigma / operational excellence program across a number of European plants before carrying out consultancy assignments in the area of Lean Manufacturing. He completed a long term assignment with another major US based automotive component manufacturing company where he trained employees in modern manufacturing techniques, managed major projects and introduced the Lean Manufacturing concepts and philosophies to traditional purchasing and materials departments and the supply chain. Chris then set up Manufacturing Awareness Limited to assist companies of all sizes to implement business improvement techniques. Chris is a regular contributor to Metalworking Production magazine and a member of one of the editorial panels for Manufacturing Computer Solutions magazine. He was a judge for the 2004 and is a judge for the 2006 UK Metalworking Production Awards.
