John Henry is widely known as the Changeover Wizard for his work in
making changeover time disappear. His company, Changeover.com, has
assisted many companies in a wide variety of packaging, assembly,
processing, and other manufacturing industries since its founding
in 1996.
After a nearly eight-year stint in the US Navy, John went to work
for Alcon Laboratories as maintenance supervisor, eventually rising
to manager of Facility Operations. He left to purchase Automation
Sales, a company dedicated to the design, sale, installation, and
service of automated packaging, assembly, and manufacturing
machinery.
In the early 1990s, John realized that changeover was not a
necessary evil and could be improved. He began helping some of his
machinery clients and Changeover.com was born. Since then,
Changeover.com has provided training and consulting assistance
internationally to a variety of companies in a variety of
industries.
John Henry has master’s degrees in industrial management,
interpersonal relations, and business education. John has been a

Hampshire University Graduate School of Business since 1982. He
teaches packaging technology at the Polytechnic University of
Puerto Rico.

magazine. He is currently a contributing writer for Packaging
Digest. John’s other books include Machinery Matters (2011) and The
