About

Process manufacturing is a daily challenge to coordinate the different steps of a production line. Every project, with its specificity, has the same goal, provides each player the goods at the right time, the right place, and in a condition that follows their specifications. From the procurement in raw materials, the logistic and the recycling, the production must be very competitive for the development of a company. However, the workforce, which is essential to it, must be preserve from injuries due to the manipulation of the company resources. I realized that the ergonomic and the production must work together in order to improve consequently the processes in the industry. I would put my effort into the development of the supply chain and the implementation logistics tools that respect the workforce from strain injuries. The projects I realised lately for GRAVIC Hungary helped me to use my skills in the improvement of the manufacturing procedures and the industrial flows by keeping the workforce as my main concern.
