In the role of Supply Chain Manager, it was my responsibility to plan, coordinate and monitor the flow of goods and services within the organisation from supplier to the customer. In addition, it was my responsibility to continuously analyse and improve the related processes and to provide needed support to the Business Unit, the Business Development Managers and the global Sales organisation.

My responsibilities were for the plants in the Netherlands and in Bosnia.As Business Development Manager I was responsible for all business development activities in the region Europe for the product groups Rollers and Sheet Metal Parts. Examples of those activities was finding new customers, doing market resource, defining the (technical) requirements in new markets together with a multidisciplinary team and preparing business cases. In this role I was in close contact with the Global Sales Team to give guidance and support in sales activities. Due to increasing competition in existing markets from low labour countries, the decision has been made to reallocate assets to keep competitiveness within the firm. In this project I had an advising role to corporate management.

As H.P.W. I was responsible to coordinate the service activities for the Coding department.

Tijdens deze afstudeerperiode heb ik een advies gegeven richting de opdrachtgevers binnen Ansaldo Thomassen over hoe de doorlooptijd van een bepaalde reparatie kunnen verkorten van 24,5 weken, tot 8,5 weken. Dit is bereikt door gebruik te maken van verschillende LEAN-tools. De reden van de grote afname in doorlooptijd komt vooral door het feit dat er enorm veel verspillingen binnen het reparatieproces zijn geëlimineerd. Dit is grotendeels bereikt door de interne logistiek op een andere manier te laten verlopen en te zorgen dat een onderdeel direct gerepareerd kan worden, en niet eerst gewacht moet worden op bijvoorbeeld inkoopdelen.
