CONSULTANT at PEXQUAL – MANAGEMENT AUDIT AND CONSULTING, LDA.
  • Portugal
  • My current job since October 2009

•Continuous improvement management (Lean - Six Sigma);

I participate in Kaizen events as FACILITATOR. This function has responsibilities:

- Help draft the Charter with the Sponsor.
- Help the Sponsor and Team Leader with the task of preparing the event and post-event tasks.

In Lean Manufacturing the goal is to reduce waste in a process. Waste means any activity in my process without added value for my customer. It is proven that only 5% of the activities in the process are added value and 95% are waste.

There is nothing so useless as doing efficiently that which should not be done at all. (Peter Drucker)

I have to reduce forms of waste such as inventory, transportation, over processing, overproduction, waiting, motion, rework, accidents and improve creativity.

In Six-Sigma the goal is to reduce the variability of a process. It means your process is stable and you can produce all your products between parameters. So with that you reduce rework.

I use methodologies and tools such as 5S/6S, SMED, Kanban, VSM, TVM, 5 Whys, Ishikawa, Poka-Yoke, Balanced Scorecard, FMEA, Brainstorming, Pick Chart, DMAIC, Pareto Charts, Histograms, Control Charts.
