About

I am a Project Manager and production process optimization specialist. For over six years, I have been supporting industrial companies in increasing efficiency, reducing costs, improving quality, and preparing for audits and investment development. I work with manufacturing plants in the furniture, plumbing, metal, food, and FMCG industries. I co-found the BESTROI company, implementing projects that practically improve production organization and operational processes. I specialize in: • Process optimization and production line balancing • Layout reorganization (SH/DH 90%, 20–40% reduction in flow) • Preparing factories and departments for audits (IKEA, ALSTOM, IRIS, ISO/IRIS) • ERP system implementation (Optima XL, Infor M3) • Designing and supervising investment projects (greenfield/brownfield) • Product profitability analysis and technological recommendations • Managing transformation projects and structural reorganization How I help companies: ✓ Inefficient processes and low margins ✓ Production chaos, quality errors, and unstructured layouts ✓ Need for hall/investment reconstruction ✓ Lack of standardization and lack of process repeatability ✓ Difficulties with ERP/digitalization implementation ✓ Preparation for client audits and certification I always focus on effectiveness, transparency, and implementing solutions that deliver real results—from quick From low-hanging fruit to comprehensive strategic projects. I'm happy to help you assess the potential for process improvement in your company.
