About Holger

Dear Sir or Madam,

In my freelance work as a REFA/Lean specialist in Industrial Engineering, I have successfully supported companies from various industries, including automotive, mechanical engineering, and medical technology, in optimizing their workflows and production processes.
I have extensive experience in conducting REFA time studies, determining and analyzing standard times, and creating and maintaining work plans.
Furthermore, I have carried out numerous projects for efficiency improvement and cost reduction, where I specifically applied Lean methods such as 5S and Kaizen.

My other strengths include the introduction and support of quality management systems according to DIN ISO 9001, the execution of internal audits, and the continuous improvement of processes through the use of statistical methods and KPI analyses.
Through the systematic application of Lean methods and value stream analyses, I have achieved significant improvements in material flow, production control, and productivity increases in the past.

I am convinced that with my experience and hands-on mentality, I can make a valuable contribution to the further development and efficiency improvement of workflows.
I find the opportunity to contribute my knowledge, skills, and abilities to an expanding company with a dynamic environment particularly appealing.

I look forward to convincing you of my motivation and suitability for the advertised project in a personal conversation.
I am happy to answer any further questions you may have at the contact details provided above.

Sincerely,

Holger Hustedt
