About Adriano Luis Aroca Tomim

I’m an Operations and Supply Chain leader with 15+ years of experience improving end-to-end manufacturing performance, stabilizing processes, and building data-driven planning systems that enhance reliability, throughput, and cost efficiency. I’m known for bringing structure, clarity, and operational discipline into complex environments, transforming fragmented workflows into streamlined, high-performing systems.Throughout my career, I’ve built a reputation for developing data-driven S & OP/MPS processes, custom MRP tools, capacity models, and KPI dashboards that elevate visibility and support strategic decision-making. Whether optimizing a high-mix production environment or leading a 24/7 plant operation, I’m recognized for my ability to simplify complexity, build accountability, and deliver measurable results.My achievements reflect a consistent focus on operational excellence and continuous improvement:• 25% productivity increase and 35% output growth through full value-stream redesign• $2.5M inventory reduction by creating a custom non-ERP MRP system• 20% improvement in on-time delivery through capacity-based planning and MPS frozen-zone discipline• $500K category savings through strategic sourcing, RFQs/RFIs, PPAP, and supplier scorecards• 15% overhead reduction, 7% yield improvement, 15% FPY increase, and 20% downtime reduction in a 97-person 24/7 operation• Cycle counting (ABC/XYZ), ROP systems, automated planning tools, and forecasting enhancements that improved accuracy and reduced shortages by 30%I bring a strong combination of operational leadership, planning expertise, and analytical capability, with deep skills in Lean, Kaizen, VSM, standard work, Power BI, Power Query, advanced Excel, ERP/MRP systems, procurement, and supplier performance management. I thrive at the intersection of analytics and execution, designing stable planning models while developing high-performance teams and disciplined daily management routines.What sets me apart is my ability to build systems from the ground up, MRP, dashboards, planning logic, labor performance tracking, especially in environments where ERP maturity is limited. I connect the full value chain from demand → supply → planning → production → procurement, enabling better decisions, stronger execution, and sustainable performance gains.I’m always open to networking, exchanging experiences, and discussing best practices in operations, supply chain, and manufacturing. Strong professional conversations often lead to shared learning and mutual value, let’s connect.

Experience

1. Production Manager

   PALFINGER North America

   Jul 2022 — Present · Trenton, NJ, US

   Directed end-to-end manufacturing operations across multiple production lines, overseeing a team of more than 50 members and driving productivity, quality, and delivery performance through strategic planning and process optimization. Held accountability for aligning sales and operations planning (S & OP), capacity planning, and materials management to achieve operational excellence, reduce costs, and support sustainable output growth.• Boosted productivity by 25% and increased output by 35% through end-to-end value stream optimization across all manufacturing streams.• Engineered a custom non-ERP material planning system (MRP), reducing inventory by $2.5M while improving material visibility and control.• Improved outbound OTD by 20% by establishing an MPS frozen zone and capacity-based planning discipline.• Strengthened S & OP effectiveness by elevating MPC processes and driving data-driven planning accuracy.• Led the full manufacturing value stream while elevating shop floor performance through tier meetings, KPI dashboards, time studies, and a labor performance system that increased workforce efficiency and accountability.
