Filling Bottleneck and New Automatic Filling Equipment
As Industrial Engineer Manager at a health food producer, analysed the process flow to find the manual filling bottleneck, ran time and motion studies, designed automatic filling equipment with a supplier and justified it with a payback of about 8 months. Filling capacity rose from 42 to 208 kg per hour.
ERP System Implementation and Manufacturing KPIs
Led the ERP implementation for the same producer, replacing spreadsheets and basic software. Set up master data, moved production to a pull system, matched virtual and physical stock, set KPIs such as inventory turns, OEE and downtime, and trained the operations team as key user.
Plant-Based Meat Factory Layout
Developed the factory and warehouse layout for a plant-based meat start-up. Planned the production flow, cold rooms and storage areas to Good Manufacturing Practice, and coordinated construction, quality and regulatory requirements as project manager.
Summary Statement
