LETTER 5-111: DIRECTOR, PRODUCTIVITY IMPROVEMENT
Mr. Abraham Silver
President
U.S. Manufacturing Corporation
23-34 Winton Way
Madison, WI 09876
Dear Mr. Silver:

In your search for a Director of Productivity Improvement, you are
focusing on, fostering, generating, expanding, and repeating
results. But first you have to find someone who has achieved them.
My resume presents my background and qualifications. Allow me
to introduce myself via the results I have achieved. In the ’80s at
Eagle Steel, and now at DVC Equipment, I designed and
implemented programs to foster breakthrough thinking. Learning
to turn everyday obstacles and interruptions into innovation and
success, our task teams:

-Increased both short- and long-term ROI by more than 38%.
-Improved cross-functional and cross-organizational
teamwork by distinguishing interpretation from fact in order
to take decisive actions.

-Realized quantum leaps in productivity performance,
exceeding 80% in some cases, that went well beyond typical
incremental improvements.
These are real, measurable, and profitable results. And they are
reproducible at U.S. Manufacturing.
I’d like very much to meet with you in person. Please give me a
call at (555) 765-4321. I’ll alert my assistant to put your call
through at once.
Best regards,

Jennifer Forsythe
