Senior Interim and Project manager, Operations & Supply Chai

Senior Interim and Project manager, Operations & Supply Chai

Work Experience

September 2004 – now: self employed as interim manager

Already completed projects at different kind of companies and of various types: project management, interim management and change management. In my work I know how to initiate and implement changes, to become more effective and to achieve better results (see the following list of projects/clients)

February 2011 - July 2013: Smit Transformatoren BV
Function: Project Manager new facilities
With a budget of more than € 20 mln. new facilities built, including machinery and process equipment. Responsible for the whole process from defining requirements, until building and implementation. Built a new expedition hall, sound enclosure of transformer and generator, new capacitor bank, new oil and isolation lab and demolish several buildings to redesign the production site.

August 2010 - January 2011: Leaf Turnhout
Function: Manager Maintenance department (ad interim)
Turnaround project with the focus to create more service and customer orientation within the department and to align the department with the Lean Manufacturing thoughts of the organization. In addition, a cost control system established to improve management information regarding maintenance.

Mei 2010 - December 2011: Marco Bladen BV
Consultancy and management improvement. Training and coaching of management team and departments in implementing a continuous improvement process which brought mayor improvements in the productivity, use of materials and profit margins.


0ktober 2008 – Oktober 2009: Smit Transformatoren BV
Manager Supply Chain (ad interim) with the focus on improving overall logistics. Responsible for Planning, Material Supply, Work Preparation and Warehouse.
Growing sales and the effects of a poor ERP implementation in the past, Smit needed to improve in the total supply chain. Examples of that are changes in the ERP (SAP/R3) itself, planning tools and processes and in the total way of organizing logistics. These changes results in a better flow in the production (shorter throughput times) lower stock levels, lower work in progress and at the end a better delivery reliability.

Besides the logistical project also several projects lead on behalf of improving production capacity. One project was the removing of the Service and Maintenance department to an external building; total project of purchasing new equipment and refurbishing the existing building to the needs and demands of the Service department. Another example project was relocation of the warehouse and installing a total new racking system and purchasing new forklift trucks. In the new warehouse implement new procedures.


Augustus 2006 – Oktober 2008: BAM Rail BV
As Manager Logistics (ad interim) I centralized the Logistical functions within BAM Rail.
Within the construction company there was a growing need to structure the logistical processes. After internal research, run by myself, the conclusion was that a centralized logistical department would improve many operational tasks and activities. The benefits were:
-The operational department can concentrate on their core responsibilities
-Economy of scale at material supply, transport and warehousing

This was defined in an action plan and implemented with developing a central logistical organization (in total 20 FTE). Through more and more awareness within the whole company on logistics, the department grew and became important in the operational results of the company: transport costs were decreased, efficiency of the operational teams increased, lower warehousing costs and lower stock levels. Also lead the successful implementation of RFID within the warehouse; an integrated application with the ERP system Metacom.


January 2006 – December 2006: Royal Stone
Change process implemented to improve quality, profitability and sales. Started with improving the awareness within the staff to create more responsibility and pro activity. Then shared goals, strategies and action plans were developed and defined. In three project teams these were implemented. Through coaching of management and the project teams the development of the results were controlled. At the end the acheieved results were: quality improved from 90% to 96% and the material part in the cost price decreased from 45% to 38%.



April 2005 – January 2006: Van Oers Accountants en belastingadviseurs
Intensive change process started to improve the total sales. First step was to define a vision with the partners of Van Oers. This vision was implemented in the total organization in combination to create a more commercial team/staff. The major attitude was changed into “thinking in possibilities and chances”. Cross selling and sharing best practices were formalized. The operational results strongly improved; the sales increased with more than 15% and the productivity with more than 4%.


September 2005 – April 2006: Van den Dungen Projectmontage- en verhuisbedrijf
Process implemented to improve awareness within the staff to create more responsibility and pro activity.

Major results were achieved in efficiency and in the planning process. To improve the cohesion in the team new communication structures were implemented.

-Consultants shared expertise and sales opportunities effectively
