The Director prioritizes the many improvement efforts underway, focusing resources on the processes causing ambiguity, wasted time, and downstream rework. This role also helps stand up new departments and functions with documented procedures and value stream pathways, and integrates Mission Assurance and Quality Assurance disciplines into projects, all while preserving the entrepreneurial culture that has made Americase successful.
