Christopher Timmer is Vice President, Customer Success at Realization, a Silicon Valley-based provider of constraints-based project, operations and supply chain management solutions. In his current role, Mr. Timmer oversees all aspects of client services operations and is responsible for the success of Realization’s engagements.

Mr. Timmer has over 25 years of experience managing and coaching executive and management teams through various engineering, maintenance, and manufacturing projects.

Mr. Timmer has successfully implemented Realization’s solutions in over 20 organizations, including the US Navy, the U.S. Army, the U.S. Air Force, the Defense Logistics Agency, the French Air Force, BHP Billiton, Delta Air Lines Siemens, Proctor and Gamble, and NASA. He has helped achieve significant results in project and non-project environments.  Non-project implementations include engine MRO, manufacturing, and supply systems.  Engine MRO implementations at Delta Airlines where all of Delta’s engines and many sister airline engines are overhauled, and the U.S. Air Force engine facility located near Oklahoma City, Oklahoma where all of the air force’s engines are overhauled, have resulted in over  20% increases to revenue and throughput in the face of reducing budget pressures.

Mr. Timmer has been instrumental in the design and implementation of improvement processes for the F/A-18 aircraft line including wing shops, back shops and engineering at the US Navy Fleet Readiness Centers.  Mr. Timmer’s efforts led to an increase in repair throughput of legacy F/A-18C Hornet fighter jets by 40%, as confirmed by Rear Adm. Michael Manazir, the Navy’s director of air warfare, report to the House Armed Services Committee on November 3, 2015.  While doing this he has also helped the Navy improve throughput and lead times in their manufacturing and extensive component and piece part repair facilities.
