Building better manufacturing systems — before automating them.

Lead operational excellence across Roche External Manufacturing and a global network of 180+ contract manufacturing partners, connecting Quality, Supply Chain, Technical Operations, Procurement and Finance across organizations outside Roche's direct authority.

• Built and govern a CHF 52M+ cost-of-inefficiency opportunity pipeline identified across External Manufacturing, including approximately CHF 11M in supply chain optimization and CHF 5M in partner Lean opportunities, each with named owners, financial logic and milestones.
• Redesigned the external artwork management process across ALPIN and WebCenter for a commercial biologic, reaching zero stockouts, zero backlog and zero write-offs in the tracked process after implementation.
• Designed partner performance governance across the 180+ partner network: supplier KPIs, scorecards, operating reviews, risk escalation and corrective-action tracking that convert partner issues into decisions, owners and recovery dates.
• Shaped digital SQDEC and tiered management routines, moved performance reporting to Tableau Cloud, built CDMO performance databases and dashboards, and led PMO for technical transfer.
• Coach cross-functional teams in root cause analysis, A3 and Lean Six Sigma as a designated RCA mentor.

Led site-wide continuous improvement through a rapid biologics scale-up in the BioProduction division, deploying the PPI Business System with a team of continuous improvement and supply chain analysts.

• Raised site productivity from approximately 40 percent to over 90 percent in roughly eight months.
• Improved OTIF by approximately 40 percent and reduced inventory by approximately 60 percent through end-to-end flow redesign and pull-based replenishment.
• Led warehouse and 3PL optimization generating approximately USD 95K per month in expense savings, alongside USD 230K+ in annual hard savings from smart manufacturing initiatives.
• Reduced downtime by 30 percent and improved cycle time by 25 percent across targeted production processes.
• Led the site-wide Quality Begins with Me program, embedding quality ownership into frontline and leadership routines; certified 8 employees to Six Sigma Green Belt.

Managed the operational excellence function for two Singapore sites with a team of five continuous improvement specialists, across build-to-order, configure-to-order and engineer-to-order electronics manufacturing.

• Converted 15 complex manufacturing cells from batch production to single-piece flow, reducing WIP by 92 percent.
• Improved OEE from 32 percent to 56 percent and throughput by approximately 60 percent between 2015 and 2021 through loss analysis, standard work, flow redesign and bottleneck removal.
• Led 54+ Kaizen events and 32 major Lean Six Sigma initiatives generating USD 900K+ in annual savings.
• Built and executed smart factory roadmaps using the SIRI digital maturity framework, connecting Lean foundations with IoT, MES, automation and predictive analytics.
• Led the Behaviour Based Quality program, moving quality from inspection thinking to observable behaviors embedded in leader standard work and daily management.
• Developed 300+ employees through Lean Six Sigma training and coaching; 50+ formally certified across Green Belt and Black Belt pathways.

Designed and optimized electronics assembly processes: time studies, MOST analysis, motion analysis, ergonomics, line balancing and work cell Lean transformation.

• Reduced cycle time by approximately 15 percent through MOST implementation and SIMO motion analysis in assembly operations.
• Improved throughput by approximately 20 percent through work cell redesign, line balancing and flow optimization.
• Built an overall labor efficiency tracking system for roughly 3,000 technicians.
