Scott Taylor, Vice President, leads CMS continuous improvement teams, providing superior leadership during critical transition phases.  His success covers more than 28 years of progressively responsibilities in manufacturing environments at many levels.  He’s led numerous companies through Value Stream Mapping and improvement implementation, incorporating Lean techniques and methods, including many successful Kaizen events. 

As Director of Operations for a 300-person batch process manufacturing division, Scott initiated Lean principles, personally conducting Lean training for more than 150 employees.  He also implemented several Lean cells and led the consolidation of a separate division into the Rochester sites.  This transition was accomplished while transforming from traditional production to complete cellular manufacturing.  These changes resulted in a space savings of over 50%, reduction of inventory by more than 30%, and customer leadtime from order commitment to delivery to less than 1 week. 

Among his significant previous positions, Scott was responsible for Global Lean implementation and training in Asia, Australia, Europe, Mexico and the United States.  His manufacturing and business process teams made breakthrough results, improving their Asia-South Pacific region Net Inventory Turnover by 11.5% and Working Capital Turnover by 19%.

While he has considerable global experience, he maintains a strong desire to assist local companies in growing their businesses.  Scott says “focusing team-based approaches to change and improving the bottom line with continuous improvement methods” are his most challenging and satisfying work.

In addition to a Bachelors Degree in Mechanical and Industrial Engineering from RIT and an MBA from the Martin J. Whitman School of Management at Syracuse University, Scott holds a Certificate from the Lean Enterprise Systems Design Institute at the University of Tennessee at Knoxville.
