WORK EXPERIENCE AND SKILLS
- I worked in 5 manufacturing companies totalling more than 15 years where I established all the important control systems (continuous production and/or by order). Special attention has always been paid to the right information which allowed to establish precise costs (cost price including discrepancies, analysis of those, by-products, sales coordination - purchases - "just in time" - production schedule). Significant savings have been achieved through time and movement studies. Productivity has been greatly improved in all the companies I have worked in.
- As one of the only specialists who worked in manufacturing, I was always choosen in the chartered accounting firms where they are doing audit and consulting. During these mandates, I have put in place simple management control systems. It should not be forgotten that some of the employees have little or no education. Therefore, they should not be traumatized with "paperwork" and complicated checks. With that in mind, consultants have to use a lot of psychology.
