• Managed end-to-end shift operations and 70+ associates across inbound, sortation, and outbound flow. • Reduced missort rate from 10% to 7% through Poka-Yoke error-proofing and standardised CAPA across the sortation process. • Reconfigured the staging layout for unidirectional material flow, eliminating non-value-added motion and cutting dispatch-wave loading time. • Applied dynamic labour allocation and job rotation to relieve process bottlenecks in real time, sustaining shift throughput.

• Reduced picking lead times by 12% through value stream mapping and pick-path redesign. • Cut damage rates by 8% via root cause analysis and revised standard work instructions. • Overhauled drinks section storage layout, tripling capacity and earning a rollout across all Flink Germany locations. • Coached 35+ associates on 5S, visual management, and quality standards, embedding sustainable process habits.

- Moderated agile workshops and team-building sessions, fostering collaboration and self-organization. - Facilitated cross-functional syncs to enhance communication and coordination. - Identified and implemented process improvements, optimizing collaboration and minimizing workflow gaps. - Developed and maintained agile documentation and retrospectives archives to support knowledge retention. - Supported company-wide change management initiatives, guiding teams through a period of restructuring.

- Contributed to Lean manufacturing resulting in a 7% increase in overall equipment effectiveness (OEE) - Designed custom tooling and fixtures to streamline production, reduce lead times, and boost throughput - Documented and maintained SOP and process flow diagrams to ensure standardization. - Assisted in internal audits to ensure compliance with quality standards and identify areas for process improvement - Supported operator training programs focused on operational safety and Kaizen to enhance efficiency

- Designed preventive maintenance schedules and undertook site inspections, reducing unplanned downtime and improving operational reliability - Led FMEA to identify failure risks in lathe machines and took corrective actions to enhance uptime and reliability - Managed and controlled inventory to ensure smooth and uninterupted operations - Analyzed maintenance KPIs to optimize routines and drive continuous improvement in reliability and service delivery.
