Organized, results-driven individual operation manager with demonstrated history of working in top class manufacturing facility. During career gained strong knowledge about machining, NC programming, people leading, lean manufacturing, project management and process certification. Lead several big projects in Alstom and GE over past 3 years. Strong media and communication professional with a Bachelor of engineering focused in Mechanical engineering construction from Karlovac University of Applied Sciences - Study of Mechanical Engineering. Looking to obtain position as senior within strong company that enables use of years’ experience managing resource allocation, strategic planning, personnel recruitment and financial analysis to support organizational market growth.
New role is to increase the product value trough elimination of waste in the overall supply chain, mainly including continuous improvement in manufacturing process, leading Lean and digital programs in cell, drive and sustain the industrial and cultural change needed to reach worlds class manufacturing (development and industrialization of digital and lean tools). Micro management of projects and process in workshop: coordination of work between Engineering, Programming, Planning and Production. Lead Lean Manufacturing initiative at the cell level: define new digital tools, lead it's implementation. Develops plans, processes and policies to support daily business and activities Leads or participates in special projects resulting from new business opportunities, establishing goals, deadlines and priorities for the business
Leading people involves the day-to-day things I must do to lead and manage my team. It's the more tangible items of management such as assigning, assessing and rewarding work. Key focus of past year was Teamwork. Teamwork is approach how my team and I solve problems, share information, generate ideas, give and get advice and complete the tasks required for the organisation. In 2016 lead project for reduction of polishing of steam blades/bucket; The project aimed to review the current requirements and process for polishing in order develop an outcome/method which reduces blade polishing costs by half. Things that was considered as part of this project: Current surface roughness standards and processes across product portfolio (and any potential harmonization) Potential elimination of polishing where performance guarantees, surface finish requirements do not require additional polishing. Polishing/achieving a better surface finishing on CNC milling machines. During 2017 Local factory started one of biggest projects in recent history. The goal of project was to ramp up capacity in Blade production. This was biggest project in may carrier. Project was build form scratch only with vision. Several segments were overlapping during one year form legal, sourcing, digital, construction, analysis, etc. Scope of project was build new hall, design layout, flow lean concept, hire new employees, evaluate new machine, and put them to production. Project was executed in one year with great success. Gain experience about design factory form scratch! Thinking about lean flow, environment, project cost, layout.
Worked at Alstom, but as part of GE acquisition become prat of bigger family! From October 2015 promoted form NC programmer to Blade Programming Group Leader, later to NC Programmer Manager. Basic assignment coaching and development of team members follows naturally from effective task assignment and completion. While monitoring and reviewing work of coworkers creates opportunities to coach team members on how to be more effective. This approach is helping a team members to see better ways to solve problems, run meetings, collaborate with others, comply with policies and better use the company's resources. In 2015 lead highly important overall Machine utilization improvement project that gain businesses more opportunity on market. Project opens local factory to gain more blades per year output with same captivity. Reducing unnecessary waste in production, pushing machining technology to to new limits provide local factory to be pioneer in many things! Customer recognized as as center of excellence for seed and seance of emergency not only for OEM but also for OOEM product
. Main qualification gained during NC programmer career; Over 20,000 hours on CATIA, Vericut and ENOVIA, Blade Mill, Autocad, 5axis milling, cutting tools, special calming jigs, Machinist/NC Programmer experience . 2013 - 2015 lead 2 R&D projects regarding blade/bucket manufacturing improvements: ITB - Milling of finger roots - The goal of this project was to improve current blade production, basically milling of finger root on impulse turbine blade. Basis for this project is understanding milling technology of finger root blades. Also one of the foundations of this project is to become more flexible to market, fast response to all orders, short delivery time. Production of all types of geometry on finger root. Reverse engineering Demo "2 rows in one week" - Business is more and more undergoing a fundamental change. Reverse engineering capabilities have developed to a level where components can be geometrically and metallurgical examined with non-destructive, comparably low cost, high accuracy equipment. This of course minimizes the monopoly traditionally held by the OEM, and therefore stimulates a higher level of competition to a previously closed marketplace, driving down cost and lead time.
- Began his career in 2011 in Alstom Power Croatia. Joined blade production team in Karlovac. - Successively learned programming for all available 5 axis machines in blade production. Mastered all blade production software; Catia V5, Blade Mill, Vericut, etc. - Development of programs related to the production of blades and production itself. - Mastered overall knowledge of manufacturing processes. - Experience in the implementation of lean processes and understand the theory of constraints in manufacturing.
