At Volkswagen’s lead chassis and steering plant in Brunswick, I had the opportunity to develop a new shop-floor Quality methodology. Starting with an agreement between the production and Quality departments and the understanding that Quality is the key to success, we introduced so-called “Quality Tables.” Excellent teamwork and high effectiveness saved Volkswagen a lot. The photo shows my one team's result: 47 % less waste in just six months.
It was an honor to work with Indigo's outstanding team in Boston, Massachusetts, and initiate Quality Assurance from scratch. After an initial Stakeholder Analysis, we followed the AIAG APQP approach and guidelines. As the QA Senior Director, my primary focus was giving Top Management the information needed and empowering the team with effective Quality methods and skills.
The Fraunhofer Society is the worlds leading applied research organization. For me it was an honor and a great opportunity together with great teammates giving birth to a new generation of Fixtures for heat treatment.
Methods like QFD and FMEA, hard work, and inspiration from the best were essential for effective design and development, risk mitigation, and lastly, the successful market launch of a new class of Fixtures and Racks.
We helped many processes and products for companies like Mann + Hummel, Brose, Huawei.
