About Maksim

With 13+ years in manufacturing sites around the automotive industry, 8 of them in management roles, I help
companies improve production performance, reduce defects, and optimize operations.
What I typically help with:

✅ Reducing scrap and defect rates

✅ Improving OEE and production stability

✅ Supporting new project ramp-ups (SOP)

✅ Fixing supplier quality issues

I work with manufacturing sites who need practical, results-driven support — not theory.

If you're facing challenges in production performance, quality, or supplier management, feel free
to connect or reach out.
