The following were my value additions:• I defined the dividing lines between the roles of Maintenance and Development and Support departments, previously very mixed up hence eliminating the conflict.• Through guidance and facilitation the performance of Vendors Management and Support section enhanced a lot.• Due to strong planning and supervision the seemingly impossible deadlines for sample preparation were accomplished.• Introduced the paint calculation, which was previously estimated.• Improved proposals making it as close to actual cost as possible by defining the operations and the machines at this stage and ensuring the checking of all the working.• Defined that costing section will only give the base price, while the margins will be added by marketing department hence eliminating the conflict.• Through my close collaboration with the maintenance team, the team was able to bring some long time out of order machines to accurate working condition.• Through my direction, team motivation and efficient use of resources (man + machine) my production department was able to give record production without any manpower increase or additional investment.• Through my close monitoring, root cause analysis and guidance my production team was able to achieve the lowest ever machining rejection percentage.• Through the improvement in quality and reliable production supplies under my supervision we became the only water pump manufacturer for Pak Suzuki. Before my tenure the water pump orders were reducing. Show less
