I support SMEs in improving their production processes with one clear conviction: first understand, then improve, and only then digitalise. Together with the company, we analyse how things work today on the shop floor and in the office and look for feasible improvements that are truly supported. At your side, not from the sidelines, with advice that starts from the reality of the company, not from a tool or method.
From that basis, I help organisations determine their optimal IT architecture: the right combination of ERP, MES and supporting applications, tailored to their specific needs. My experience is based on Quick Response Manufacturing and Lean Manufacturing, market knowledge of industrial software and collective research projects around planning and control at Sirris. What one company learns does not have to be rediscovered by another, that way, no one stands alone.
