Tom Walker, Certified Maintenance & Reliability Professional, Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering
President
Lakeview Enterprise Associates, Inc.

I’m a trainer, coach and problem solver who works with industrial and manufacturing managers across a variety of business segments.

Before launching my independent coaching and training practice 8 years ago, I had worked for 25+ years with E.I. DuPont developing their world class process improvement, quality, and safety programs.

I traveled to DuPont’s plants around the world:

• training plant leadership on manufacturing Best Practices;
• training shop floor teams to identify the underlying causes of major injuries, process safety incidents, production and yield losses, plus equipment unreliability;
• increasing business revenues by hundreds of millions of dollars due to lower production costs, improved equipment run time and higher product yields.
• guiding teams to successfully achieve safety, cost and schedule goals for plant maintenance and project outages;
• applying lean manufacturing methods to routinely shorten product transition or changeover times by 50%;
