I optimize factory operations through simulation, logistics design, and industrial engineering.
NetherlandsWhat I'm looking for
At Ergo-Design, I help optimize manufacturing and logistics through factory layouts, manufacturing lines, logistic concepts, simulation studies, smart scheduling, takt clocks, and digital scoreboards. I focus on solving root causes rather than adding people, equipment, or working hours.
Previously at VIRO, I built and validated discrete-event simulation models and digital twins to support well-founded operational decisions. For my master’s thesis at Voortman Steel Machinery, I developed a simulation-optimization strategy for pre-assembled module inventory to simplify planning and target machine delivery within 10 weeks.

The objective of my master thesis was to develop a new strategy for the assembly of the automated steel processing machines of Voortman Steel Machinery. The goal of this new strategy was to simplify the planning process and reduce the delivery time of the machines. To achieve this, it was decided to stock pre-assembled modules so that the delivery time of the parts needed for these modules would n
