The Manufacturing Engineering department was to be implemented into the organization when I changed function. Meaning all processes regarding Manufacturing Engineering had to be designed, tested and communicated to the organisation.Within the organisation I developed myself as a flexible Manufacturing Engineer who is the controlling aspect between Engineering and production. Collaborating closely with several departments to improve processes regarding my main objectives:- Leading New Product Introduction projects- Guiding and implementing technical changes- Making and maintaining Process Plans and assemblyinstruction using MPM-link (E-BOM to M-BOM conversion)
