To Whom It May Concern

 

I have worked with Jack Rex for several years at both Therma-Tru Doors when I was VP, Supply Chain and VP, New Business Development, and at Owens Corning when I was CIO and VP Finance. I highly recommend Jack for high level Leadership roles in I.S. and specifically as Project Leader/Manager for high impact Business projects. Listed below are projects Jack managed and implemented from 2003-2007. Each of these projects was implemented within budget and timeline. These projects were high impact and ranged from preparing a business for sale, restructuring major facilities and implementing a major Marketing program.

 

Our Commercial division needed an ERP system so that they could be sold.                          8/03 – 12/03   

 

Jack was responsible for collecting requirements and selecting the best ERP system for our commercial division.  The commercial division consisted of 2 plants, one in Wilmington North Carolina, and another in Phoenix, Arizona.  They made metal doors and hollow metal frames.  The scope of the project included order entry, production scheduling, production, inventory control, quality control, purchasing, receiving, shipping, invoicing, and financials.     

 

Implemented Made to Manage and then sold Commercial division.                                       1/04 – 6/04 

 

Made to Manage was selected as the ERP system for the commercial division.  Jack implemented the Made to Manage System in six months, taking out costs and improving processes.  We sold the business shortly after the implementation.  

 

Plant Restructuring in Fredericksburg, Virginia                                                                       7/04 – 3/05 

 

Jack was project manager for a $4.5 million plant restructuring project in Fredericksburg, Virginia.  We went from 7 buildings to 3, 14,000 SKU’s to 2,000, and reduced headcount from 300 to 150 associates.  Jack also implemented our company’s E21 ERP system into the plant at the same time.

 

Plant Restructuring in Matamoros, Mexico                                                                               4/05 – 4/06 

 

This was a $10.6 million plant restructuring project where we replaced 18 manufacturing lines with 22, doubled capacity, and cut headcount from 950-550.  Jack brought this project in $1 million under budget.     

    

New Marketing Line                                                                                                                 5/06 – 9/06

 

Jack was responsible for rolling out a new product line across the U.S.  His scope included marketing, sales, order processing, scheduling, manufacturing, shipping, purchasing, receiving, inventory, quality, and cost accounting.

 

ERP Upgrade                                                                                                                            10/06 – 3/07 

 

In 2005, Therma Tru bought Southern Millworks, with plants in Reno, Houston, and Fort Wayne.  Southern was implementing Microsoft Great Plains as their ERP system.  This project was 2 months behind and $250,000 over budget when Jack started managing the project.  He brought the project in on time and on budget.
