• Lead factory organization to achieve world class performance in terms of Quality, Costs & Productivity, Flexibility, Customer Satisfaction and Employees involvement • Lead the definition of the Factory Profit Plan (in terms of volumes break-even, costs, quality and productivity) • Guarantee the operative management of the factory's functions to ensure the fulfillment of production plans • Responsible of factory P&L and factory turnover • Ensure an institutional relation network

Leading about 500 people in the three Whirlpool factories located in Cassinetta (Varese, Italy), my accountabilities are the following: • Leading manufacturing organization to achieve world class performance in terms of Quality, Costs & Productivity, Flexibility, Customer Satisfaction and Employees involvement • Guaranteeing the operative management of the area, ensuring the fulfillment of production plans • Factory P&L and turnover • Relations with Unions

Leading a group of about 60 people (5 direct reports) in three factories (Cooking, Refrigeration and Microwave oven) For all the three factories, accountability about: • Productivity on Conversion Costs • Standardized work • Equipment management strategy • Product/Process cost engineering • Factory Information system management • Strategic growth of the factories • Capex management • Manufacturing process development • New technologies

35 people led, 13 direct reports. Accountability about: •strategic growth of the factory •Manufacturing Process development •Capital and Expenditure management •Process and product cost engineering •Profit Plan definition and deployment •TCP plan (Total Cost Productiveness) definition and deployment •equipments management strategy •information system management •material engineering •introduction of the new products Best success achieved in 2012: +9% labour efficiency; 5 Millions Euro TCP; +5%O

*representing the Manufacturing of three european sites into Major/Mega project from the beginning, driving its design according with the manufacturing site strategies * driving the calculation of the “conversion part” of the Integrated Cost of the product * investments sizing and technologies selection * coordinating other teams: Lean Manufacturing, Work organization&layout in order to assure the feasibility of every new product assuring quality and reducing costs

• investments & expenditures management • development of the manufacturing process • design of new processes & new equipments • evolution & “put in place” of the “Factory master plan” • study of the working methods • feasibility of the new products • discovery of new manufacturing technologies • maintenance & evolution of the factory information system • total maintenance of the equipments • maintenance & evolution of the functional test machines • development in the factory of the EHS&energetic policies

Technical and automation growth planned for the 14 factories that the Company has in Europe. Important equipments installed and huge problem of manufacturing solved, always leading the whole project: analysis of the problem, solution(s) proposal, development and final installation. Great skill acquired about: products identification and tracking via barcode or RFID; Manufacturing Information System design; process simulation; project management;

Co-ordination of fifteen workers divided into two teams. Working shifts organization, management of interventions on calls. Interaction with production manager in order to solve problems caused by mechanical, electrical and hydraulic troubles. Damages analysis and planning of precautionary maintenance. Management of the supplying firms. Compiling budget. Suggesting new investments and testing new plants and machineries

Design of digital circuit logic, replacing old analogical products.

Graduation thesis: “Modelling and simulation of a plant for drilling and punching motorcycle wheels”. Acquired knowledge about models identification, data analysis, systems theory, fundamentals of robotics, automation, theory of communication.
