Head of Spare Parts at Technica International
  • Lebanon
  • March 2019 to August 2020

Accomplishments
 Re-structured the Spare Parts dept. with clear job descriptions, accountabilities and target, as it was previously part of
the Customer Service Dept.
 Increased the SP revenue by 12% (Apr 19 - Apr 20) despite the economic distress in the region.
 Planned and implemented inspection visits to our installed customer base (KSA / UAE / Oman / Jordan / Egypt). Met
with 42 customers, which generated around 70% of the revenue increase, through selling spare parts for wear and tear
items.
 Initiated preventive maintenance plans, by creating different modules for them, based on the customer’s needs,
promoted them during our visits, and were able to sell 10 maintenance agreements to key customers.
 Enhanced customer contact by reconnecting with dormant customers, either through regular calls, or through courtesy
visits.
 Automated the “Customer Service Questionnaire” for the SP dept. and shared it with our customers, which resulted in
an 88% response rate.
 Worked on a new pricing structure for the department by comparing our margins to competition - built a database of
suppliers of components in the region and gathered quotations for different parts that we outsource.
 Created an internal software with the help of a technical resource, to automate the calculation of the cost of internally
manufactured items (which was done manually before), that include different cost elements (raw materials, machining,
labour cost, …)
 Having a software experience, I worked with our software integrator to include several enhancements on the internal
operation, to facilitate the transactions and communication between the SP and other departments, which enhanced
the synergy.
