Process Development & Operational Excellence
- Assess current manufacturing processes and identify opportunities for lean transformation, automation, and digitalization across cutting, sewing, finishing, and supporting functions.
- Standardize best practices across factories; institutionalize continuous improvement (Kaizen, Six Sigma) culture.
- Champion Industry 4.0 adoption — real-time production monitoring, digital work studies, and data-integrated planning.
KPI Development & Implementation
- Design a group-wide KPI framework covering productivity, efficiency, quality, delivery, cost, sustainability, and people metrics.
- Implement dashboards and management operating systems that enable data-driven decision-making from shop floor to boardroom.
