Description

Cost reduction is achieved by eliminating waste on the shop floor.

Involving employees on the shop floor in the change process ensures sustainability.

The basis is the application of methods recognized by certification bodies, taking into account the given necessity and existing resources.

My development journey from production employee to management function in the automotive industry gives me the flexibility to specifically address the concerns (roles and responsibilities) of individual hierarchical levels.

Let's Rock it!

GETZNER WERKSTOFFE
Team Leader / Overall Responsibility for Lean Program
September 2020 - November 2021 (1 year and 2 months)
Bürs, VO, Austria
• Management and further development of two production areas (4 direct / 60 total)
• Compensating for personnel shortages by increasing productivity through efficiency gains
• Leading cross-functional problem-solving projects with Black Belt level complexity The challenge was to ensure efficient production. Large call-off fluctuations, massive raw material shortages, and a lack of problem-solving skills were constant companions. With the integration of effective shop floor management, shop floor leaders were able to take over the management of their areas. Based on needs, employees were guided towards an active role in problem-solving using Lean and Six Sigma methods.
ThyssenKrupp Presta AG
Plant Coordinator
November 2019 - August 2020 (9 months)
Florida, USA
• Coordination of global business process management measures / Top down & Bottom-up
• Project coordination for the relocation of 50% of the machining area to Poland / Time and budget on target
• Securing global supply commitments during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic The project management for cost-saving measures (e.g., relocation of a production area) included time management, pre-production, cross-plant coordination, budget adherence, customer coordination, and finally the re-commissioning (PPAP) of processes. To eliminate production bottlenecks, I was also deployed in other global production plants. At the beginning of the pandemic, the focus was on coordinating the global supply chain to ensure customer supply. To secure liquidity, I coordinated personnel requirements based on raw material availability and organized short-time work for the authorities.
