I was deep diving in practice the learned skills at Vitrite Innovation Department.

Responsable for introduction of new products in automotive lighting Stop en Signaling. Equipment and process optimalisation with DoE method. Complex plastic parts with metal inserts. Working in multi-discipline teams with the focus to make each person valuable as a "key" on the road to success! As a project member involved with the technical part of transfering production equipment to China. Including the training of Chinese engineers on technics, maintenance and production processes.

Part of Philips Lighting, BG Automotive Producing and development of lampcaps for Automotive Responsible for mounting, molding and quality equipment (Inline and offline). Knowledge special in mechatronics solutions in relation to 24/7 and mass production. Working in a close corporation with suppliers on new technics, egg linear motion drives, torque drives. Developer of successful mounting platform that produces in Europe and in the near future also in China. Driven to overview machine and human, egg process control, quality control, data management. In this total process the value of human intervention is the key factor. The drive to success is to use my knowledge for an integral production platform that can compare with low production costs and high quality levels.

Special interest of Mechatronics, mounting, molding, insert molding and Quality aspects of mass production. Introduction of new products and production equipment. Special attracted to the interaction from customer to the production organisation.

* Producing and development of components for Automotive, plastic and metal parts. * Responsible for design of processes, machines, production setup within the automotive branche. * Area of expierience of mechatronic solutions of molding, assembly and in line quality controls. * Working in a close corporation with suppliers on new technics, egg linear motion drives, torque drives. * Development from single machine till complete production line for back-end LED solutions with manufacturing location Europe and China. * A drive for the lay-out of a production line is the total view of man, machine and product. Inline process control and quality control with tools for analyzing data must give the operator the tools to produce 24/7 highest quality. * The drive to success is to use my knowledge for an integral production platform that can compare high quality level with a minimum of human intervention.

This training combine the knowledge of an engineer with teh birdview of a bussiness engineer and make it possible to decide the right choices for complex manufactering projects. The method can be used in software and hardware (electronics and mechanics). Activities and Societies: CAFCAR framework, Roadmapping, multi disciplinary models and views, lean and agile processes
