Nov 2016 - Dec 2020
As project manager I have several projects for our high-tech customers in my portfolio. Projects are mainly focussed on Medical, Precision and Motion. Medical division for jaw and hip implants, manufacturing of components for steerable laparoscopic instruments and manufacturing of implantable insulin pumps. Precision and motion division for manufacturing and assembly of parts and linear motors for mainly the semiconductor industry (chip manufacturing industry).Within the Witec Group managing projects and engineering has quite a large overlap. This means I also fulfil several (process)engineering tasks and I’m the contact for technical questions for internal as well as external customers. Tasks are mainly focussed on engineering and implementation of high-tech and high precision components and assemblies, process engineering and quality analysis with help of Lean Six Sigma tools Show less

Project engineer / Manufacturing engineer
-
Jun 2012 - Nov 2016
As project engineer I have a leading role in several active High-Tech projects for customers such as ASML, VDL and Nordson. This involves project preparation, planning, engineering of the products and/or manufacturing processes unto an approved product.As manufacturing engineer I facilitate the work preparation for production components. This includes preparations of inductive components (mechatronic products and coil winding) and the preparation of production parts (manufacturing on CNC turning and milling machines).My time distribution is 80% Project engineer and 20% Manufacturing engineer.(www.witec.nl) Show less

Thesis Project
-
Sep 2012 - Feb 2013
The objective of the thesis project was to set up a production line for inductive components within Witec. Combining the existing knowledge of precision manufacturing with inductive components, Witec can strengthen their market position in the High-Tech industry.Main question of my thesis project was: “How should an assembly line be set up and be furnished, regarding risks, logistics and assembly moulds, within a completely new assembly department of Witec? Which products, productions steps or processes need redesign, and comparing to the current assembly process of the subcontractor can a cost reduction of 10% be realized?Result of the project was highly positive. After a meticulous examination of the production line, work instructions, test protocols, etc. After analysis of the first production run of glue dispensing units, the client (Nordson) approved the production line. For Witec it meant authorisation for the manufacturing of glue dispensing units for Nordson.(www.witec.nl & www.nordson.com). Show less

Traineeship
-
Jan 2012 - Jun 2012
My traineeship at Witec Fijnmechanische techniek B.V. involves identification of process risks for High Impact Parts (HIP) and finding solutions for these risks, using tools such as Flow charts, CTQ-lists, FMEA analysis and Control plans etc.. Workinstructions were made incorporating the solutions found with the risk analysis. Achievement was that output and quality was increased and the fluctuations within several processes and tolerances are minimized. The second task is controlling and making the processes to make Ultra Clean Vacuum products (UCV) up to date, according to the regulations which are required nowadays. Show less
