Profile

I am a turnaround-manager, a change-manager. I like to do a short and proper analysis followed by an implementation of the proposed changes. I like complex challenges, therefore one of my favorite sayings is: make the impossible possible.  

I am convinced that a proper preparation is the key for success. Quality is very important. I don’t believe in quick dirty changes, real change is mostly tough.

I have been a long time a consultant and also a manager. I know what it is to manage large groups of people in a direct hierarchical way but also how to motivate people in an indirect way.

My specialization fields are Supply Chain Management, Manufacturing, Operations and ICT. I am broad but I don’t hesitate to go deep into details if necessary. 

People mostly describe me as somebody you can trust a complex task. He is honest, straight-forward and on-time people say.

Experiences

 

may 2003 – current:  Independent Interim Manager/Consultant

  • Projectleader (FaberHalbertsmaGroup, march 2008 - may 2008). A big retailer in the Netherlands wanted to outsource their reverse logistics. Therefore they organised a Tender. I assisted one of the interested companies. Unfortunately another candidate was preferred, therefore the project was continued
  • Interim Logistics manager within a big international cheese producing company (FrieslandFoods, june 2007 – march 2008). I was responsible for running the logistics department (until a successor was found) and for two special projects (introducing a new planning system and optimizing  production-batches). Target annual savings 5 million euro.
  • Interim Operations Director within a bakery-ingredients producing company (Sonneveld, sept 2006 – june 2008). I lead some major changes in the organisation in order to get the organisation on a higher quality standard. I ran a reorganisation program, a lean manufacturing program and a quality certification program. Besides I was responsible for the daily operations (manufacturing, engineering, supply chain management intol 100Fte)  
  • Project manager restructuring the production organisation for a company which produces energy from burning carbage (AfvalEnergieBedrijf Amsterdam, may 2006 – may 2007). Company was a public company and in a transformation process to become a more commercial organisation. I helped to make the production-organisation (which is the core business of this company) more effective and finally more efficient. Basic questions to be answered were: how many people of which level do you need? How to differentiate between operational matters and more structural long term matters? How should the coordination been done with other departments like automation, maintenance etc.? How to organise shifts?
  • Program-manager for a tender on warehousing and transportation for a UK-based company producing bakery-ingredients (CSM/BakeMarkUK, may 2005 – june 2006). Aim was to save £3 million on an annual basis.  Both Frozen and Ambient products (50%/50%). Also involved in a manufacturing assignment for the same company to reach a better use of capacity (goal 80%) with lower inventory-levels (4 weeks). Focus on: outsourcing, reorganisation, ICT, contractsiseren
  • Project-manager for a tender on warehouse and transportation for a big international operating meat-company (Nutreco, feb 2005 – june 2005). Aim was to save 1.5 million euro annually. Focus on how to reach substantial savings
  • Program-manager of a Supply Chain Optimalisation program for a large multinational biochemical-company (CSM/Purac, may 2004 – june 2005). Base data was already installed but Forecasting, DRP, MPS and MRP didn’t work properly. Asked to start the engine. Focus on: forecasting, ICT
  • Program-manager to combine purchase power for 8 middle-sized companies (800 million in total), jan 2004 – march 2004). Like what  multinationals already have been doing the last 10 years by combining purchase power over the different companies, these companies also wanted to do without leaving their independent position in a niche market. Focus on: outsourcing, developing an organisational structure, contracts
  • Facilitator-role to help a large energy-distributor to outsource their infra-division (Nuon, feb 2004). Focus on: outsourcing, organisation and implementation aspects
  • Project-manager Kanban (Cordis, june 2003 – nov 2003). Responsible for the introduction and implemenation of Kanban in a manufacturing environment within a large pharmaceutical organisation which makes special catheters and stents for human body purposes. This solution should fit in the existing ICT-infrastructure, the MRP-system (BPCS/JDE) should remain as well as Manuigistics. Focus on: content Kanban, implementation-method
