With over 10 years of experience in continuous improvement and business transformation, I have successfully led Lean Six Sigma initiatives in global matrix organizations. My expertise includes driving Kaizen events, VSM workshops, and deploying process excellence frameworks that deliver tangible results. I hold a Master's degree in Engineering and am a certified Lean Six Sigma Black Belt.

Sincerely, [Your Name] Copy ### Sample Interview Questions Can you describe a time when you led a major Lean transformation in a global matrix organization? What challenges did you face and how did you overcome them?I led a Lean transformation across three manufacturing sites in Europe and Asia. The main challenge was aligning local cultures and standardizing processes. I established a cross-regional steering committee, conducted VSM workshops, and implemented a tiered training structure. We achieved a 20% reduction in lead time and a 15% cost savings within 18 months.How do you prioritize improvement initiatives when resources are limited?I use a combination of Hoshin Kanri and value stream mapping to align improvements with strategic priorities. I also evaluate potential impact versus effort using a matrix. I engage stakeholders to ensure buy-in and focus on quick wins to build momentum while planning longer-term projects.Describe your approach to mentoring and developing a team of continuous improvement professionals.I believe in 'building an army of problem solvers.' I establish a structured training program that combines classroom learning with hands-on Kaizen events. I assess individual strengths and create personalized development plans. Regular coaching and recognition are key to fostering a Kaizen culture.How do you handle resistance to change when implementing new processes?I start by understanding the root cause of resistance, often through one-on-one conversations. I communicate the 'why' clearly, using data to show benefits. I also involve resisters in the design process to give them ownership. Celebrating early successes helps build confidence and buy-in.Can you give an example of how you used data and metrics to drive a process improvement?At my previous company, we had high order fulfillment cycle times. I analyzed the end-to-end process data, identified bottlenecks in quotation and order handoff. Using DMAIC, we implemented a digital dashboard for real-time tracking and standardized handoff procedures. Cycle time reduced by 25%. At TE, you will unleash your potential working with people from diverse backgrounds and industries to create a safer, sustainable and more connected world. ## Your new role: * Drive the TEOA Business System and guide the organization towards achieving Benckmark and Excellence in all areas * Support the Lighthouse sites with their 18 months engagement roadmap journey to deploy TEOA * Run Kaizen events and large VSM workshops on site cross functional and cross regional * Bring a seasoned outside-in view and regularly assess the management system * Develop a Processes & Excellence framework to bring more sites on Light House Initiatives /Journey * Ensure thorough stakeholder management by regularly interacting with Sales, Operations/Supply Chain, Continuous Improvement, Finance, PM and other pertinent functions * Lead and Support Value Drivers and Enablers as defined at ACL Sector level * Map out, align and document end-to-end processes for quotations, order fulfilment, customer issue resolution, and other commercial tasks * Support Hoshin X Matrix priorities, Coach and Mentor * Establish tiered training structures to deploy processes and ensure adherence, global level * Develop process improvement ideas as well as automation/digitalization concepts, socialize and pressure-test the improvements and drive them to success. * Lead the implementation of service level differentiation in commercial functions; develop concepts for value-adding services for global and key customers * Work with P&L-owning subvertical (business segments) on process and interface improvements especially with regards to revenue maximization and inventory optimization * Take on comprehensive projects and drive them with a high degree of latitude, ensure proper goalsetting and timelines as well as change Management * Build an Army of problem solvers and Kaizen Facilitators and instill Kaizen culture * Drive continuous upskilling of the Processes & Excellence team, emphasize talent development, assess talents from line functions for potential career paths into TEOA and program management roles ## Your ideal background: * Master’s degree in business, operations, engineering, or another related field. * 10+ years of experience in Continuous Improvement, PMO, functional leadership, or Business Transformation. * Strong hands-on approach paired with the ability to formalize and sustain achievements * Experience defining and scaling PMO process excellence programs, tools and initiatives. * Experience in executing lean / business excellence transformation at scale in an Industrial environment and track-record of delivering tangible results * Business excellence and Lean Expert process and methodologies * Continuous Improvement Certified (i.e., Lean Expert or Lean Six Sigma Black Belt) * Previous Experience in Continuous Improvement, Program and Project Management, or similar * Proven experience in a large, matrixed, global organization, with a demonstrated track record of successfully managing complex projects and deliver results * Continuous Improvement mindset and prior experience implementing best practices. * Demonstrated ability to successfully manage multiple projects and programs and meet scope, schedule, and objectives. * Experience in managing teams, Stakeholders as well as senior subject matter experts. #jobsEMEAAD #LI-Remote Show more [Apply now >](https://jobicy.com/jobs/148346-ci-lean-leader-m-f-d.md) > Annual salary information is not provided for this position.
