Phillip Slater Provides a Unique Combination of Skills and Experience
In addition Phillip was nominated as a 'Materials Management Power Coach' at both the International Maintenance Conference 2008 and the Reliability Centered Maintenance Conference 2009.
With nearly 25 years of operational improvement experience Phillip Slater provides a broad combination of skills and experience.
At just 24 years of age Phillip started his first organizational turnaround, taking a maintenance department from a craftwork approach to scientific management based maintenance. At 27 Phillip moved to another state and repeated the program at another factory in the same group.
The success of that program led Phillip, at 29, to the role of State Operations Manager. After successfully ‘turning around’ that state’s operations, Phillip was, at 31, offered the role of National Operations Manager, the youngest person to be offered that role. For family reasons Phillip turned down that opportunity and subsequently joined a consulting group.
Starting as a consultant, Phillip was, after just 6 months, put in charge of a profit centre with a team of consultants offering Operations Improvement Services. This later expanded to overseeing groups in Australia and Asia and ultimately a role on the Executive, overseeing a large group providing operational, engineering and equipment development services. Phillip’s next challenge was as an Operations Management Principal for A.T. Kearney, a global consulting firm employing 6,000 consultants worldwide.
A desire to ‘do his own thing’ led Phillip to leave it all behind in 2001 to start his own company, Initiate Action. Over the years Phillip has helped many companies improve profits, increase reliability and reduce working capital in many different industries and at least a dozen different countries.
Now Phillip utilizes the expertise and experience built up over nearly 25 years to assist select clients in operations improvement and inventory optimization. Phillip is also a prolific writer of management books and articles for newspapers and magazines in Australia, Asia and North America. Through Initiate Action Phillip also licenses his intellectual property and processes to other companies for software development and service delivery.
