Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

My name is Marcel Musabimana, I am 38 years old, I live in Belgium on the French border and I have a little girl.

I completed the first three years of my professional life in a work-study program. Subsequently, I joined the automotive sector for five years as a consultant, and I was responsible for working on the industrialization of new products. This means I was in charge of setting up production facilities for new products in collaboration with research and development, quality, and other specialized departments.

After this experience, I joined a company in the pharmaceutical sector and stayed there for just under four years. I was responsible for deploying continuous improvement at one of the company's sites. This involved identifying cost reduction opportunities, long-term improvement opportunities, and supporting teams to deliver results by implementing DMAIC-type projects. I was also responsible for implementing the necessary tools and training for the deployment of the continuous improvement approach within the framework of deploying the company's production system (problem analysis and resolution tools, SMED, 5S, etc.).

We can arrange a meeting if you would like to know more.

Sincerely
