About Yourself / Bio | Kevin Keller received a
Bachelor’s Degree in Chemical Engineering from the University of Missouri-Rolla
in 1984 and a Master’s Degree in Applied Statistics from The Ohio State
University in 1989. He is a certified Master
Black Belt through Moresteam, Inc in conjunction with The Ohio State University
(just by coincidence!!!). Kevin worked for Texas Instruments in Dallas, TX as a
process engineer from 1984 to 1988, making high end circuit board (PWB’s) for
military equipment. He worked as a
statistician from 1989-2004 with MEMC
Electronic Materials making silicon wafers for the semiconductor market. He employed statistical methods and continuous
improvement methods not only in manufacturing but also in all support
organizations. Kevin holds a patent in the
application of statistical methods (US 6,293,139). His last corporate
position from 2004-2017 was with AB-InBev
(formerly Anheuser-Busch). Most of his time was supporting the high
speed production of aluminum cans and lids in the Metal Container Division. Notably,
he was in charge of all aspects of quality of the screw cap long neck aluminum
bottle from concept design through initial production. Kevin spent a year in the Commercial side
developing predictive sales and pricing models.
In his final 2+ years at ABI he served as a Lean Six Sigma Master Black
Belt, training and coaching new yellow, green and black belts, as well as
working on large improvement projects. Throughout his career at
MEMC and AB-InBev, he assisted people in non-traditional areas in using
continuous improvement tools to solve problems, such as Legal, Corporate
Affairs, Human Resources, Finance, etc. After “retiring” from
corporate life, he is Principal of Keller
Statistical Consulting, LLC, serving local, domestic, and global companies
in Quality, Statistics, Discrete Event Simulations, Training, Continuous
Improvement, and Change Management. He is married to Ann and
they reside in St. Peters, MO. Their two
daughters and three grandchildren reside nearby in the St. Charles County, MO
area. |
