Work History

Production Manager

  • Led manpower, quality control, financial, and operations functions, enhancing production efficiency by 25% and reducing operational costs by 18% by implementing strategic resource allocation and ERP-driven demand forecasts.

  • Accomplishments: I joined the Schterk team during the factory's construction phase, when both operations and administrative staff were still limited. It was a major challenge to position a new brand in a market dominated by well-established competitors. Within one year, we succeeded in gaining market trust across the Gulf region, and transitioned the factory from a cost-recovery phase to a profitable operation.
