 Patti Melton
buyer,
AIS – Northrop Grumman
Purchasing manager Charles Harrison says he has the country’s best MRO buyer on his staff. Listen to him rave and it’s hard to argue:
“Patti Melton has worked for Advanced Information Systems for 22 years, working her way up from parts issue clerk to associate buyer to company buyer with consistently outstanding performance.
“Our stockroom has 21,000 different types of piece parts, a $5 million inventory that Melton knows better than anyone. Melton has long had a reputation for being able to go into the world and find parts that no one else could find, cheaper than anyone thought we could get them. She is extremely knowledgeable, efficient and willing to work hard to get our technicians what they need to do the job.
“She has a full plate as a buyer, but late last year, she went above and beyond the call. Material control lost an employee to a long-term illness. Without complaining or patting herself on the back, she has quietly covered the open job while doing her own job. She also trains new employees in the stockroom.”
