Worked as ME with tasks directed to R&D and Production. Tasks I performed/ responsible for: Specification Management, Concept Development, Detailed Development, DFMA, and Risk Management, Production Realization & Ramp-up, Validation, Quality Assurance, Commercial Production, Continuous Improvement, Value Stream Mapping, Change Management and Project Management

Worked at Department Product and Production Working tasks I performed: • Value Stream Mapping of existing manufacturing & assembly processes • Elaboration of manufacturing & assembly processes based on product concepts at front-end development stages • Design for Manufacturing & Assembly (DFMA)

During military service I worked as engineer at centre for aircraft-maintenance Penzing. My task was: • Value Stream Mapping of maintenance process for transport plane Transall C 160

Practical training to prepare for engineering study • Work experience as mechanic at tool supplier for automotive industry

Production System Design Specification Early specification management is important for efficient development activities and reduced risk by considering product and production aspects. For usage in specification work, I present list of topics to elaborate individual checklist.

• Research focus on the concurrent development process from a holistic viewpoint with special focus on the production development process at front-end phase and its elaboration of specification • Participation of industrial cases with focus on development of flexible manufacturing systems

Diplom-Ingenieur (Dipl.-Ing.) Mechanical Engineering Specialization in product development and production technology
