Autorenporträt

Cordell Hensley started his career in the U.S.M.C. as a helicopter mechanic and crew chief. After 11 years of working with TPM, 5S, visualization, standardized work and many other Lean tools he left the Marines & moved to the UK, where he joined Toyota in their engine factory in Deeside in North Wales as a Group Leader in production control. He began identifying a culture where ideas could be trialled and learning took place continually.

After spending 8 years in manufacturing, working in automotive, returnable pallets, electrical steel and finally potato chips, culminating with the establishment of the logistics function in PepsiCo's Skelmersdale UK crisp factory, he left to become a consultant.

Cordell has been providing continuous improvement consulting for industrial and transactional organisations for 8 years. He's worked in Automotive, Food, Light & Heavy Industrial Goods, FMCG, Pharma, Defence, Machine Shops, Aerospace MRO, Construction, Investment Banking, Call Centers, & Higher Education.

Cordell obtained a BSc in Business Management from the University of Phoenix in 2007, A Professional Certificate in Project Management from UoP in 2008 and an MBA from Manchester Business School in 2012. He continues to support the MBS Global MBA with final project supervision.

When not working, Cordell enjoys sailing, chess, reading and the occasional pro-bono consulting engagement with local charities through the Cranfield Trust. He lives on the Wirral peninsula near Liverpool in the UK with his wife and 2 daughters.
