IT and System Analyst - Roles and Responsibilities
As a system analyst in a factory producing auto interiors for major automotive brands worldwide, I have gained extensive experience over the past 10 years. I have actively contributed to setting up production lines for renowned brands such as Daimler/Mercedes, BMW, Audi, DAF, Opel, Volvo, and Suzuki.
Additionally, I have played a crucial role in providing IT technical support to various departments, including Finance, HR, Sales, Quality, and Engineering, as part of my daily responsibilities.
Key tasks as a system analyst that I have performed include:
• Ensuring high uptime for all IT-related processes.
• Seeking smart IT solutions to make logistics, production, and office processes more efficient and qualitatively better.
• Conducting targeted and accurate analyses of processes that require improvement.
• Collaborating effectively with programmers and technical engineers to deliver improvement projects and new initiatives optimally.
• Ensuring that all projects and daily expenses stay within the agreed budget.
• Training colleagues in the use of new hardware or software.
These tasks reflect my commitment to maintaining efficient IT processes and promoting continuous improvement within the organization. My experience and expertise enable me to successfully contribute to various aspects of system analysis and IT support in a manufacturing environment.

Daimler Mercedes - Door Panel Production for Mercedes E-Class
In 2018, I collaborated with various departments to establish the production line for Mercedes E-Class door panels. This is a high-end product that must meet the highest quality standards. What sets this production line apart is the requirement for everything to be delivered just-in-time and in a sequenced manner. Continuous monitoring and control of each step in the logistics and production process are essential.
The implementation of high-end Manufacturing Execution Systems (MES) and logistics systems has ensured the high reliability and quality of our logistics and production processes. Some notable features of this project include:
• Verification of all production and logistics processes through QR and barcode scanning.
• Real-time monitoring of all machinery and logistics processes with customized parameters.
• Training of all operators and key users, both in logistics and production processes.
• Ongoing search for opportunities for improvements through active research on the production line and in the warehouse.
• Developing specifications for system programmers to facilitate enhancements or expansions of all related systems.
• Quality assurance through annual internal and external audits is crucial in this endeavor.
Additional Information: After the first year of production, we received a Triple AAA status from Daimler, resulting in increased business for other IAC factories.


BMW Mini - Dashboard Production for the BMW Mini F60
In 2016, I collaborated with various departments to establish the production line for dashboards, which were integrated into the BMW F60 Mini by VDL Nedcar. This production line operated in a just-in-time and sequenced manner, with a significant emphasis on RFID technology.
Each dashboard was equipped with an RFID transponder containing unique data that could be read by every machine and control system. This innovation resulted in every machine automatically configuring the correct settings for each dashboard, such as welding and stamping requirements. Additionally, it allowed for the automatic rejection of a dashboard if any safety-critical components were not processed correctly by a machine.
A sophisticated rail system, in combination with this RFID technology, ensured the precise sequencing of dashboards. In essence, this production line was fully automated, and collaboration with programmers and advanced engineering was pivotal. Creating sound analyses and specifications for continuous improvements was a necessity in this endeavor.
Ultimately, both VDL Nedcar and our internal audits recognized this production line as a benchmark for other related production lines.
