3 greatest achievements:
- 60% waste reduction via factory layout optimisation and re-engineering of materials flow processes which resulted in increased productivity across the whole site and boosted company morale.
- Increased OEE across 15 presses through a focused Kaizen Event aligned to improve tooling and material availability which resulted in a reduction in downtime and increased productivity. These improvements led to an OEE increase from 35% to 65% in a short period of time.
- Led a cross functional Kaizen event on a major quality issue within a business which was attended by a customer of the business. The outcome of the event resulted in the implementation of a cheap and simple solution to the issue which saved time, money and resources, as well as building stronger relationships with clients to facilitate further business.

- To work for an organisation that is committed and bought in to Continuous Improvement with or without an established programme.
- Progression opportunities internally to be able grow within and alongside a business rather than moving around a lot.
