MCD and system layout manager Jeff Eckerle grew up on a farm. "Everything worked but there was always a better, more efficient way of doing things," he said.
Jeff said he carries that philosophy into his working career. "I'm always trying to improve things; never accepting them as they are."
Jeff manages a team of people who make certain that customers’ needs and expectations are exceeded in the areas of plant integration and systems development.
“I am working on streamlining a process that will help Comau move into the future with even better solutions to systems integration. We are moving toward making the system layouts the center piece and focal point of all projects.”
Jeff says this focus will change the paradigm of the importance of a system layout in regards to the overall success of a project.
In his free time, Jeff enjoys snowmobiling, wood work, bike riding and being outside. He coaches his son’s football and basketball teams and he’s also a Cub Scouts cub master. Jeff has been married for 13 years.
