DEANNA’S EXPERIENCE
Experience across
the value stream.
Prior-career manufacturing work that informs Lean Forward Group’s approach today.
Electronics manufacturing
PLANNING • MATERIALS • PRODUCTION
In planning, buying, and quote coordination at Parker Hannifin / Vansco Electronics, Deanna applied Lean methods across production, materials, inventory, and supply-chain processes.
- Kanban replenishment and Plan for Every Part systems
- EPEI production wheels and scheduling consistency
- SMED principles and bottleneck improvement
- Kaizen, 5S, visual controls, SOPs, and role-specific training
This work supported the planning and operational processes needed to accommodate increased customer volume.
Hydraulic manufacturing
WAREHOUSE • KITTING • INTERNAL LOGISTICS
As a value stream leader in Parker Hannifin’s Hydraulic Division, Deanna led improvement work across production, warehouse operations, the kit room, and internal material movement.
- PFEP and point-of-use material presentation
- Warehouse picking and flow-rack improvements
- Barcode-assisted workflows and hydraulic flow carts
- Standardized tugger routes and Kanban replenishment
- Supporting procedures, training, Kaizen, and 5S
The emphasis was improving the flow of work and making material delivery and operating expectations more consistent.
