      Focused on simultaneous engineering and ensuring manufacturability (DfMA, DtC) during product creation process (PCP) as well as on LEAN capital expenses during global project execution. Globally guided and coached project engineers located in different plants (U.S., Brazil, Germany, Poland, Russia, Turkey, India, China) from manufacturing concept development to flawless production launch and serial production.Prepared input for customer acquisitions, Make vs Buy and manufacturing footprint decisions.ZF Group acquired WABCO in May 2020 Show less Value Stream:Day-to-day responsibility on the production shop floor such as trouble shooting, shop floor management, problem solving (DMAIC, Ishikawa, 5-Why,…), low-cost automation/ rationalization, cost reduction, continuous improvement (Lean/ Kaizen), change management.Project Engineering (Manufacturing & Logistics):Later took over site project engineering responsibility for new product introduction including prototyping. Provided global functional excellence support i.a. for localisation projects in North America, India and China. E.g. led a sub- project to open a new facility in US, South Carolina. Show less Something unique that in this form only the German state Baden- Wuerttemberg had to offer: A full- time study with alternating lectures and dedicated "real life" projects at my employer.It provided me the chance to "experience the theory" in a variety of corporate functions such as product engineering, testing, quality management, finance, production engineering and operations.With my thesis I paved the way for introducing advanced traceability for a safety relevant commercial vehicle component.
