Laufenburg (Baden), Baden-Württemberg, Germany
With more than 12 years of experience in the Swiss pharmaceutical industry, I have built my career across Quality Assurance, Business Analytics, Production Planning, and Operational Scheduling. My professional journey has evolved from Quality Assurance Associate to Business Analyst Planning and ultimately to Operational Scheduler, providing me with a unique combination of compliance expertise, analytical thinking, and operational planning capabilities. My areas of expertise include: • Production Planning (short-, mid-, and long-term horizons) • Capacity and Resource Planning • Production Scheduling and Bottleneck Management • Business Analytics, KPI Development, Forecasting, and Reporting • Process Optimization and Operational Excellence • Data-Driven Decision Support • GMP/GDP-Compliant Operations • Cross-Functional Stakeholder Management • Supply Chain and Manufacturing Operations I am particularly passionate about transforming complex operational data into actionable planning insights and developing practical solutions that improve transparency, efficiency, and decision-making. Throughout my career, I have led KPI governance initiatives, supported Integrated Business Planning (IBP) processes, developed advanced planning tools, and enabled data-driven decision-making across manufacturing and supply chain functions. Currently pursuing further academic development through a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA), with plans to continue toward an MBA and APICS certification to further strengthen my expertise in Supply Chain, Planning, and Operations Management.
