From the beginning of my professional career I’ve been involved in business process management using Lean Management philosophy. I gained my work experience in manufacturing companies in the chemical and electronics industry (LCD SHARP). I know the principles of process improvement inside out thanks to working as a Production Leader, Service and Repair Supervisor, Lean manager and Project Manager. As a Project Manager, for 3 years I was responsible for a comprehensive implementation of Lean Management at the main supplier of chemical products for IKEA group around the world. I’m very familiar with working in short production cycles and short lead times. During the implementation of improvement projects I focus on the analysis of available data, using analytical methods and tools based on Six Sigma philosophy. I pay close attention to developing and improving business awareness of the management staff, focusing mostly on the flow time and process stability, quality, operational and investment costs. I also specialize in creating effective Kaizen systems in service and manufacturing companies. In my projects I concentrate on improving the cooperation between the departments and various functions in the organization. I support activities that enhance improving the skills of the management staff – especially the quality of communication based on facts, precision of setting goals and tasks, effective delegating.
