  Company Re-branding

  When I started at Chess Group it was named Alliance Fasteners and sold fasteners and some custom components. Having a vision for a superior supplier of products and services

  I began a complete re-branding of this firm with its existing high quality management. Some of the ideas implemented were a name change

  logo change

  website redo

  moving the company IT infrastructure to higher quality tools

  redesigning the ERP software with customer portals

  adding a number of systems and procedures to increase quality and efficiency of each function

  documentation of the entire firm

  investments in the quality lab hardware and procedures

  and targeted sales efforts. These initiatives along with many other minor initiatives doubled sales in under 3 years and have assisted Chess Group in becoming a global competitor in managing the supply chains of major OEMs.

  ISO and AS Compliant Knowledge Base

  Built a \"brain\" for how Chess Group operates. It not only holds all documentation and references neccessary

  but is ISO and AS compliant on document ownership and revision tracking. All controlled documents and record templates are available as well as public portals for reference for our customer and supplier base. Various components of our business are also included such as equipment lists and how-to usage

  employee lists and documentation for customer requirements

  and a full inter-linked work instruction database for any non-employee to be able to perform any function within our company... off the street.

  ERP (Ruby on Rails)
