Profile

‘Make the impossible possible!’

‘efficiency is the automatically outcome of aiming at effectiveness’

Turnaround-manager, change-manager. I like to do a short and proper analysis followed by an implementation of the proposed changes. I like complex challenges, therefore one of my favourite sayings is: make the impossible possible. Further more I am convinced that aiming at effectiveness will be followed by efficiency automatically.
A proper preparation is the key for success. Quality is very important. I don’t believe in quick and dirty changes, real change is mostly tough and thorough.
I have been both a consultant and a manager for a long time. I know to manage large groups of people in a direct hierarchical way, but also how to motivate people in an indirect way.
My specialization fields are Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing, Operations and ICT. I am broad but I don’t hesitate to go deep into details if necessary.
People mostly describe me as somebody you can trust to do a complex task. Keywords in evaluations are: honest, straight-forward and in-time.

Interim Program Director/Director Operations (Erbi, aug 2008 – sep 2009)

For a company making working tops (for kitchens and bathrooms) I was responsible for the daily operations (Manufacturing, Logistics, and ICT) and for several projects to improve the margin. I used Business Process Redesign and Lean principles. A program was defined and I was the program manager, main projects were: -
• Making the customer order process more simple and smooth (Lean). A CRM-system (Update7) and a productconfigurator (Sofon) were implemented and connected to the existing ERP-system (Softbrands)
• Lean Manufacturing. Manufacturing flow was made more logical and more smooth
• Optimization of the ERP-system itself. No complicated made-to-stocks anymore only made-to-order. MRP installed, productfiles/bill-of-materials were cleaned-up and made more simple
• Plan for new hardware based on virtualisation-techniques
• Implementation of purchase and billing software (20/20 Vision)
