les@doyleelectricinc.com

Les joined Doyle Electric, Inc. in 2007 after a 29-year career in inventory management in the chemical industry. His material management career began in the United States Air Force, where he served from 1967 to 1971. Les is deeply concerned with logistics and has written articles on inventory control and accuracy for Inventory Management Update, a bi-monthly magazine. While in the Air Force, his organization received honors in two consecutive years for the “Top Federal Supply Point in the World” and his employer in the chemical industry received recognition by Fortune Magazine as the “Best Small Company in North America” for two years in a row during his tenure. If you ask Les, he will tell you: “Inventory and inventory record accuracy are not subjects that demand profound reflection in the work place. However, when this investment goes afoul, it is often the subject of board meetings, executive council, financial crises, and marketing strategy meetings. Inventory and inventory record accuracy only become great concerns when they are not working properly.”
