>> My name is Isaac Stalzer.
I'm currently with McKesson
as an OMDP associate.
It's really a development program, that's
Operations Management Development Program
and it's really broken down into three pieces.
You'll start with, basically, it's a nine-month
rotation period where you'll actually go through
and get a hands-on experience about
what we do in our distribution centers
and learn how we actually operates.
So, you'll know everything, for
example, if you're in the warehouse,
you'll learn how you're doing receiving.
You might be in the office learning how we
made gen inventory right with our DEA people,
learning how we control our regulated products
and so, it's kind of the first part of it.
The second part is going to be with our
greenbelt, Six Sigma green belt projects.
So, as part of the OMDP program, you are
tasked with running your own green belt project
from the brainstorming phase
all the way to fruition,
so that's kind of going to be the second part.
And the last part is going to be a leadership
role that you're actually going through a lot
of leadership training and you will go
through anything from presentation skills
to business writing and actually
hands on leadership,
situational leadership, crucial conversations.
And that's really the three main
parts of what I'm doing right now.
Well, for the most part, a lot of what I'm
doing this week is the green belt project focus,
so when I'm coming in, the first thing I do is I
clear my emails and that could be anything from,
we need your help over in receiving, and we have
an issue and something needs to be adjusted,
to actually, okay, we're boiling down a project,
these are the variables I need
and kind of or start off that.
That usually take me a couple of hours
in the morning to figure out through,
go through the emails, and trying
to get everyone's feedback what
they need and deliver that.
After that, I'll actually go
through and I'll meet with--
there's a black belt, Six
Sigma has three levels.
There's a green belt, a black
belt, and a master black belt
and each distribution center will
have a black belt within its building
and that will actually be guiding you
during the project management phases.
So, I spend a lot of time with him right now
and actually going through and brainstorming
on projects, identifying the scope and really
the definition of what are you trying to fix
or improve, and that will
usually go a few hours as well.
And after that we'll actually go through and
whatever needs to be done for the project.
In my case we were overriding queries
right now in AS 400 and trying
to identify what our measurables
are and start gathering the data
so that we can make some educated decisions.
