Process engineering

Industrial process engineering - optimization and establishment of technical processes from laboratory scale to final production

I support as an oparative link between development, already in laboratory scale, and implementation and manufacturing in production = the transition of developments into stable serial productions (product transition).

In this process, I already assist in the development process for production-specific questions and accompany from the product idea to series production. 

The goal is a successful ramp up and a stable standard process!
