Independent consulting for manufacturing companies – automotive and non-automotive. I put production sites on the path to growth: with sustainable strategies, motivated teams and higher operational efficiency.
Scrap and rework are eating into your margin.
OEE is consistently below target.
Complaints are piling up – the root cause remains unclear.
A supplier is putting deadlines or quality at risk.
A customer or certification audit is coming up.
A series launch or relocation has to work first time.
I work where cost and quality are created – on the shop floor, at the interfaces and in the supply chain.
Increase efficiency, reduce waste, stabilise operations.
Quality that works in daily operations – not just during the audit.
Reliable suppliers – from project to series production.
Structured methodology instead of gut feeling. Every step ends with a clear result.
On site, with data and with the people who run the process every day.
The greatest potential first – by cost, risk and feasibility.
Together with your team, until the measure works in daily operations.
KPIs before and after. Results you can prove.
A compact on-site analysis. You receive an assessment, prioritised measures and your greatest potential for improvement.
Implementing the measures together with your team – until the KPIs are right.
Fast support for acute quality or supplier issues.
Diplomatic and win-win oriented – between customer and supplier, plant and headquarters.
Integrative leadership: I bring your people along instead of deciding over their heads.
Calm and factual – even when deadlines, cost and quality are under pressure at the same time.
Think strategically, decide clearly, stay focused on the goal and the customer.
“My passion is getting production sites on the path to growth, even in a dynamic and changing environment – with sustainable strategies, motivated teams and higher operational efficiency.”
I know manufacturing first-hand: I started as a coachbuilder and, most recently, spent nine years as Head of Supplier Quality Engineering with responsibility for plants in Korea, Hungary and Austria.
Today I bring this experience to manufacturing companies in every industry – clear, pragmatic and with the aim that improvements last.
For companies that want to produce more efficiently, secure quality or reposition themselves – with or without an automotive background.
An initial call is free of charge and non-binding. You describe the situation – I will tell you honestly whether and how I can help.
