Understanding the complex process and with interaction with employees, I am able to get the right approach by using all the different tools learned over my last 28 years of SKILLS AND CAREER HIGHLIGHTS - Highly efficient manager - Owner of a startup business - As a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt, I have successfully implemented Lean principles like SMED, 5S, pull system in production and business environment as well as solved complex problem- My project management skills and training helped me build a strong track record of delivering results - Very high analytic and problem solving skills - Extensive knowledge in continuous improvement MY VALUES - Listen twice and talk once- Never jump to a conclusion. Identifying a problem and planning is everything. Albert Einstein said: “If I had an hour to solve a problem I\'d spend 55 minutes thinking about the problem and 5 minutes thinking about solutions.” - I always refuse status quo - Sometimes, a small improvement is much better than a science project that will take forever to achieve.
