Managing partner at Inove Building Intelligence, a company that has achieved a privileged position in high-complexity equipment installation, electrical, pneumatic, and hydraulic infrastructure. We have undertaken significant projects involving the implementation of new factories and processes, including SMT, packing, recycling, and logistics operations. I am responsible for the technical and financial management of the company, which currently employs over 50 professionals, including technicians, electricians, assistants, electrical engineers, and automation engineers.

I have actively contributed to global and local projects, leading an initiative to reduce downtime in the Engineering department. Through effective methodologies, training, and skill enhancement, we achieved a remarkable reduction from 14% to 3.2% within a year.As a valuable member of the international team, I played a crucial role in implementing the Infrastructure Systems House Project at Flextronics in Guadalajara. Rooted in TPM and Lean philosophy, the project focused on optimizing operations and improving efficiency.I also spearheaded a project to significantly reduce setup time for SMT processes. By implementing offline preparation, SMED, and establishing a dedicated "Pit Crew Team," we achieved an impressive reduction from 6 hours to just 38 minutes.As the leader of the process and testing engineering team, I effectively managed the department's budget and assessed the company's installed capacity. Through meticulous mapping, I generated comprehensive investment plans to support capacity expansion.Additionally, I oversaw SMT processes for PCBA manufacturing, providing support for existing products and contributing to the successful introduction of new products (NPIs).Furthermore, I successfully optimized the utilization of our SMT equipment park, increasing capacity utilization from 31% to an impressive 62% within two years, as measured by OEE.

In my role as Production Technology Manager, I had the privilege of spearheading the implementation project for Foxconn's inaugural mobile phone manufacturing operation in São Paulo. As the key point of contact, I assumed responsibility for overseeing all aspects of production and equipment maintenance.One of my major contributions was the preparation and analysis of the investment plan, providing crucial insights for stakeholders and ensuring effective budget management throughout the project.Within an impressive timeframe of just 3 months, I successfully led the complete installation of the factory, which encompassed office setup, seamless product transfer, and the hiring and training of a skilled team.Through diligent coordination and strategic decision-making, I efficiently managed the ramp-up process, propelling the factory to its maximum capacity within a swift 12-week period. This achievement resulted in an impressive production output of 120,000 mobile phones per month.Another significant accomplishment was my instrumental role in implementing and certifying the quality system within a tight deadline of 6 months. Collaborating closely with the certification body DNV, I ensured compliance with stringent quality standards, further establishing the company's reputation for excellence.

As the leader of the SMT process and maintenance team, I had the privilege of overseeing a team of 54 highly skilled engineers and technicians. One of our major accomplishments was the significant reduction in factory downtime caused by unplanned maintenance. Through effective strategies and diligent implementation, we successfully reduced the downtime rate from 17.5% to an impressive 3% within a single year, specifically in 2004.To further enhance my skills and knowledge in process optimization, I pursued and obtained a Six Sigma Green Belt certification, with a specific focus on SMT setup optimization. This qualification equipped me with valuable tools and methodologies to drive efficiency improvements and streamline operations.Directly impacting production quality and throughput, I played a key role in ensuring the smooth execution of manufacturing processes. By closely monitoring and optimizing key parameters, I consistently achieved high-quality outputs and improved overall production efficiency.Additionally, I held the responsibility of leading the New Product Introduction (NPI) team. Collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders, we successfully introduced new products to the market, coordinating the seamless integration of these products into the production line. This involved meticulous planning, resource allocation, and efficient execution to ensure a successful and timely launch.

In my role, I had the valuable opportunity to establish close relationships with major customers such as Motorola, Sony Ericsson, and Nokia, serving as a key interface between suppliers and customers to address technical issues and ensure seamless collaboration.One of my notable responsibilities was serving as the Project Coordinator for the Brazilian Post Automation Project. In this capacity, I prepared contracts and service support proposals, working closely with Siemens, the primary partner of the Brazilian Government for Postal Automation Projects. This role required meticulous attention to detail and effective coordination to ensure the successful execution of the project.As part of my program management duties, I oversaw the contract between Siemens and the Brazilian Post. This involved managing various aspects of the project, including scope, timelines, and resource allocation. By maintaining clear communication channels and applying robust project management methodologies, I ensured the smooth operation of the contract and the achievement of desired outcomes.
