Innovation manager - Performance engineer

Work Experience

2001-2004 : RAMS/LCC Project manager & Engineer at Bombardier Transportation Belgium
(Bombardier Transportation is the world leading rolling stock manufacturer)

Project responsible for the RAMS/LCC Engineering team during the full course of a new traindesign project (RAMS/LCC = Reliability, Availability, Maintainability, Safety & Life Cycle Cost) This function involves:
- maintaining personal contacts with the customer: convince of choices made and strategy
- suppliers: contacts, selection & dossier follow up
- setting up and executing the integrated reliability analysis
- to pro-actively steer the design and to report and mitigate risks.
- manage the RAM/LCC team & work

Beside these general project related tasks, the following achievements are particularly relevant:
- Patented invention of a highly reliable selective door control safety system (SDO).
- Setting up, integration and facilitation of the RAM/LCC sub-processes in order to optimise the deliverables’ quality.
- Definition, development, deployment, training and facilitation of the new standardised Bombardier methodology & advanced toolkit for the ‘Triple integrated’ FMEA RCM: improved asset quality by optimisation and justification of necessary resources by maximisation of customer oriented deliverables. (RCM = Reliability Centred Maintenance)
- Core team member of the ‘IP-train’ project: intelligent train network for the future


1995-2001 : Scientific researcher at RUG-Imec
(Imec vzw. is a world leading research institute in electronics )

Research towards the development of high voltage transistors, used in reflective x-Si AM displays, also known as LCOS – Liquid Crystal On Silicon.
The scope of work included:
- Virtual Wafer Fab CAD finite element simulations
- optimizations through design of experiments.
- full-custom transistor and display matrix sub-micron CMOS design & layout
- measuring, characterization, validation en optimization.

The work was successfully used in an Esprit project (GXGA LCOS display) and resulted in several international publications and lectures (eg. ESSDERC, SID, ...)

Education

Grammar school:
Royal Cadet School of Laken

University:
1990-’95: Master in Engineering Sciences – Physics (the highest distinction – with honours) - University of Gent

Post university:
1995-’97: Degree in Education – Applied sciences (distinction) - University of Gent

Courses:
3 week RCM facilitator course (Aladon UK)

Skills

Management:
my personal drive, innovative attitude, people-skills and project management experience make me qualified to manage a small dedicated team (<10) into areas of new expertise.

Engineering:
I am a pragmatic engineer persuing continuous performance improvement from design till service: performance in terms of relibaility, availability, maintainability, safety and life cylce cost or total cost of ownership.

More in particular, techniques like FMEA, FTA, RCM, qLCC are applied with a sound theorethical background. This,is achieved by optimising the design, maintenance plan, use of condition monitoring and condition based maintenance (CBM), implementation of state of the art diagnostic and expert systems and FRACAS.
(and management support in these matters)

Training:
training in reliability, maintenance and safety concepts and the methodologies referred above.

Languages

Dutch: mothertongue
French: very good, both passive and active, written as well as spoken
German: good, both passive and active
English: very good, both passive and active, written as well as spoken

Other

IT knowledge:
Basis knowledge of ethernet networking (physical layer, network layers - VLAN, mobile IP...)
Thorough knowledge of MS Office Pro, including Visual Basic for Applications, Lotus Notes
Thorough knowledge of finite element software and design of experiment techniques. (Sylvaco – NormanDebora/LMS Optimus)
Use and troubleshooting of Windows and Unix (HP-UX)
Object oriented programming skills and scripting in various languages (VB.NET, TclTk, Pascal, ...)
