About Mario

15+ years of operational experience in production and supply chain: from the shop floor to management.
Funded by a Bachelor's degree in Chemical Production and Process Engineering and an MBA in General Management.

I support medium-sized manufacturing companies in sustainably improving their operational performance. Unlike many traditional consultants, I know the challenges of everyday production from my own responsibility: from managing production areas, optimizing processes and supply chains, to controlling quality, audits, and key figures.

My focus is on practical solutions that work directly in the operational environment and deliver measurable results.

Shopfloor & Production
· Root cause analyses for scrap, downtimes, and recurring quality problems
· Conducting risk assessments (FMEA/HAZOP)
· Process and procedure optimization with direct practical relevance
· SOP creation and development and organization of work instructions and standards
· Creation of practical training and coaching materials, including conducting employee training
· Development of high-performing shopfloor structures: shift models, responsibilities, communication routines
· Introduction and further development of shopfloor management and KPI systems
· Preparation and support for customer, quality, and regulatory audits

Supply Chain & Planning
· Inventory optimization and reduction of tied-up capital through structured planning and warehousing processes
· Improvement of forecasting and production planning processes to increase delivery capability and planning reliability
· Optimization of supply chain and logistics processes between production, warehousing, purchasing, and customer supply
· Project management support, e.g., for product transfers, plant commissioning, or optimization projects
