AN EXAMPLE OF LUIS MOLINA´S WORK VF Jeanswear (WRANGLER) is the largest division of VF Corporation, a USA company that is the world's largest apparel company (www.vfc.com). Although Luis Molina had no knowledge of apparel manufacturing, he was a USA MBA and was hired as the General Manager of Blue Bell de Honduras -a WRANGLER manufacturing plant. WRANGLER had manufacturing plants in four countries: the USA, Mexico, Costa Rica and Honduras; and Blue Bell de Honduras had a very bad performance in all areas. However, under Luis Molina´s management, in five years Blue Bell de Honduras became the best WRANGLER plant ever and was regarded as the best jeans plant in the world, and that was achieved with direct Honduran personnel that were frequently discarded in many companies nearby. No person in the USA, Mexico or Costa Rica strove for that achievement. Anyone would have preferred that the number-one plant was from their country, not from Honduras. It was Luis Molina´s vision and management work that made an unimaginable goal become a solid reality. To be a number one company in the USA in your line of business, your quality, cost and delivery must be second to none worldwide. For this reason it is outstanding that the top manufacturing facility of the largest apparel company of the greatest country in the world was in Honduras. That superb WRANGLER plant was a complex operation: With the exception of marketing (in which Luis Molina had a marginal involvement only) all business functions had to excel. Planning, organizing, development of personnel and control had to be superb across all areas in a balanced way –manufacturing, finances, operations, administration, human resources, institutional development and the support services areas: quality, engineering, warehousing, shipping, safety, security, cafeterias, legal, community image and involvement, maintenance, medical services, transportation and several others areas. Luis Molina´s technical, human and conceptual skills made it possible. He diligently applied his education, experience and personal attributes into creativity and sound management which molded a great group of people to perform with enthusiasm, responsibility and efficiency in all areas. Blue Bell de Honduras´ success is a neat example of dedication (hard and smart work), leadership and teamwork in achieving world-class performance. If Luis Molina was capable of doing that while he went from being 37 to 42 years old, what is he able to do now that he has more knowledge, experience and maturity? His approach to prevent difficulties and secure optimal performance is applicable to any line of business or company size. This is why he offers practical and very productive management advising through OptimumAnswer, with the certainty that quality, cost and delivery of his rendered services are second to none: Not even the largest consulting firm will provide you with more apt solutions or implementation.
