Chris Schneider is a results-driven Plant Manager with over a decade of hands-on operations experience and more than six years in leadership roles, currently overseeing a $150M+ manufacturing facility and a workforce spanning salaried and union teams. Trained as an Industrial Engineer from Purdue and Lean Six Sigma Greenbelt certified, he has driven measurable improvements in labor efficiency, inventory lead times (up to 40% reduction), and material usage through process engineering, cross-functional coordination, and operator-led controls. His background covers the full production lifecycle—materials planning, scheduling, quality, maintenance and engineering—across both union and non-union environments, giving him a pragmatic grasp of operational trade-offs and stakeholder alignment. Known for building tools and SOPs (including an ABC code update tool and scheduling time fences) he combines analytical rigor with creative problem solving to translate forecasts and supply-chain inputs into reliable delivery.
