Chet Mullen: Material Guy

摘要

After high school, I spent a few years in culinary school. I thought I'd go into the restaurant business, but I didn't want to work on holidays when everyone else was celebrating with family. So I enlisted in the Air Force, where I spent five years in a logistics job in Athens, Greece. When I got out, I earned a degree in business, and continued working in supply chain management. Today, at Raymond Corporation, I manage the handoffs among suppliers, manufacturers, engineers, and marketing and sales teams to ensure operations run smoothly. Raymond focuses on custom-designing materials handling equipment and solutions for customer facilities. We go to market through 22 dealerships, which employ about 2,200 field service representatives. My job is to get finished goods and service parts to those technicians, and make it as easy as possible for them to do business.
