Alessandro Di Renzo

Program Manager for enhancing productivity and profitability in the operating unit based on 6 work packages (sales, engineering, factory, planning, quality, warehouse). The program is planned to be 18 months lasting using the support of external consultants and internal key resources.

It is a change management program and bringing on board the organization communicating and informing is of utmost necessity.

The project covered all the aspects of a global business template implementation, which means new IS tool deployment SAP S4 and revision of the business processes (A to Z). This last part was essential for the project as functionalities have been tailored and designed in some cases according to defined business set up.

I fully understood that creating value is not only directly linked in running the day by day business but in shaping the structure (in this case the ERP and relevant processes) in the best possible way as s trade-off between the available resources (time, financing, people) and the ERP quality to allow the business to be run in the most slim and effective way.

I had reviewed my way of working, relying on my cumulated knowledge and experience in the projects made, but more compared to the past on other’s technical knowledge; instead of guiding directly I had to exploit a more high-level guidance.

• Analyzed profitability of the product line, to assess the performance and decide if proceeding to a portfolio streamline. The analysis made was considering overall economics and customers’ needs, and the performance of the product in relation with other productions measuring the cost of complexity. The analysis brought to the implementation of a different production set up with a partial transfer of production to a feeder factory focused on common subassemblies leaving to our unit the final assembly and customization.

• Led international team (Italiy - Germany - India) teams for project development, ensuring timely delivery and adherence to specifications.
• I reviewed the structure (25 people in 3 countries) of the office moving from a flat organization and introducing an intermediate level with sub teams to give the opportunity to team leaders to grow and the team to benefit of more control on the daily activities.
