Hello, my name is Steven Wilson. I am new to AirWarriors and want to submit my profile for comments (both positive and negative) about my chances for this upcoming DCO board for Supply Corps.
I am 35 years old, live in Tulsa, OK with my wife and two kids (4 yo boy and 1 yo daughter).
I have worked for a contract drilling company in the corporate offices here in Tulsa for the past 6.5 years and am currently the Knowledge Management Supervisor for the Center of Excellence (CoE). We work for the overarching 'Operational Support Services' (OSS) Department which includes Global Supply Chain, Continuous Improvement, Performance Engineering and Enterprise Asset Management (EAM) groups, to name a few.
We work directly with Supply Chain, Asset Management and Engineering Depts to write technical procedures (Operations and Maintenance), bulletins, equipment upgrades, etc... We also capture lessons learned and conduct post-event reconstruction and analysis to understand the root causes and devise action plans for resolution. We utilize a lot of lean six sigma tools and practices for process improvements and project implementation and coordination. Our primary customers are internal (District, Maint and Rig personnel). I deal directly with internal supply invoices, bill of materials and manage specialized inventory (via our own 'CoE Warehouse).
