"We found ourselves short of resources with a number of critical initiatives that needed to be completed over a three month period.

APD provided us with a Global Commodity Manager for indirect commodities, plastic components and resins. His experience was a great fit for our needs. He successfully led cross-functional sourcing teams and negotiated several contracts covering IT, software, telecom, injection molded plastics and corrugated packaging. He also drove a number of important quality, delivery, and service performance improvement initiatives, including driving metrics improvements with our printing supplier, ensuring quality and delivery issues of a U.S. plastics supplier to our China plant were being addressed, and completing plastics supply chain mapping to support our quality and risk management objectives.

As a result of his ability to quickly adapt to our culture and the results he achieved, we exceeded our goals during this critical period. I would definitely use APD temporary resources again in the future."
