Why do I do it?

It’s a good feeling that I can pass on the knowledge I’ve acquired over the past 20 years in such a way that I can think of a story or a real-life example about almost everything, which can make the benefits and usability of the lean approach more tangible. I believe that this way, through practical examples, we can understand better which tool, when and why it is worth using, and how they are related to each other. If we see how others tackled the given task or problem, what methods and tools they used, we can work much more efficiently.

The acquired knowledge can be applied more easily if we know what to connect it to or if we already have some personal experience in this regard.

My goal is to be able to pass on the most usable knowledge through trainings and efficiency development projects by developing motivation, so that we see it not just as a task or a theory, but as an opportunity.

How do I do it?

During my career so far, I have had the opportunity to learn more about the production of more than 40 companies. I gained process engineering experience at IBM, where the lean manufacturing approach became part of my work. Later, in developing Caterpillar’s suppliers, we worked with foundries and machining plants on projects related to quality, delivery and cost reduction. During the years I spent as a Lean consultant in the Bosch group, my main task was the development of Central European automotive suppliers. I held workshops with suppliers aimed at increasing the transparency of operations and improving efficiency and/or capacity. With my other projects, I provided support for the introduction of new production lines, as well as held trainings in various lean topics. The experience gained in this way provides a very good basis for the effectiveness of both training and efficiency improvement projects.

Where and what do I do?

It is important to understand the motivation of the clients/participants so that I can really help them providing the most relevant support. This is one of the most important keys to success and maintaining interest.

I hold various in-depth trainings related to lean tools, such as TPM, 5S, Value Stream Mapping, SMED, etc. During these, the practical and simulation tasks tailored to the participants’ needs are in focus.

First step is creating transparency during efficiency improvement projects. Part of this is the exploration of problem areas, for which we formulate an action plan together with the client. This is followed by the follow-up of the measures and support for the implementation.
