Master of Engineering (M.Eng.)

Hochschule Hof, Germany

2021 – 2023

Specialization in Operational Excellence. Focus on Lean Management, Six Sigma, and Global Supply Chain Optimization.

S&OP Mastery

Bridging Sales & Production

My core competency lies in the synchronization of market demand with industrial capacity.

Operational DNA

Operational Excellence is not just a methodology; it's a commitment to zero-deviation stability. In the high-precision glass industry, even minor planning gaps translate to significant bottlenecks. I solve this through:

  • Meticulous 1:1 documentation of S&OP cycles.
  • Proactive capacity buffering for global order spikes.
  • Statistical "Safe Planning" to minimize waste.

"Aligning global supply chains requires more than data—it requires an engineering mindset centered on precision and predictability."

Technical Case Study

Zero-Deviation Planning

Optimizing high-precision order fulfillment at Waldemar Knittel.

Challenge: Synchronizing 200+ SKU production cycles

Managing demand for laboratory glass products requires navigating extreme seasonal variances and custom engineering requirements. The challenge was reducing "Planning Jitter" where production overshoots demand, leading to inventory bloat.

Solution: Statistical S&OP Buffering

Developed an automated capacity tracking tool that cross-references CRM real-time data with factory line availability. This created a "buffer zone" for high-priority global orders without disrupting standard runs.

Resulting KPIs

-12.5% Inventory Carrying Cost
100% Critical Order Timelines
