Cruise’s Post

We often witness actions and behaviors from our colleagues that deserve to be shared, celebrated, and encouraged. These moments, which go beyond their regular duties, truly demonstrate our five core values - care, accountability, integrity, continuous improvement, and teamwork. These colleagues deserve our recognition! That's why we created our "Values Ambassador" program. 🌟 This initiative allows employees to nominate their colleagues whose actions and behaviors make us proud. 🏅 Today, we spotlight Ivaylo Serafimov, Logistics Manager - East and our Values Ambassador for 2023. Ivaylo follows the Toyota principle: “Make decisions slowly by consensus, implement them quickly” and isn’t afraid to use unconventional approaches.

Think of reliability like safety

Beautifull town of Görlitz, March 2003. 🌍 No worries, this is not a tourism Post, even through Görlitz is definitely worth one! As I reminisce about my journey from Canada to Germany in January 2002, I can't help but share a pivotal moment that still resonates today.   In 2002, I seized the opportunity to introduce Lean Six Sigma to the German and Austrian Operations of Bombardier Transportation. Exciting times, right? Fast forward to a 5S Kaizen perfectly led by André Wendler in Görlitz, and we walk through the plant with the incredible Siegfried Deinege, the site GM.   Siegfried, being his fantastic self, expressed satisfaction with the changes but raised a valid question: "When and how do I see improvements in my metrics?" 💡 This also echoed a common challenge we faced – struggling to pinpoint the right projects.   Now, having transitioned to consulting recently, I've realised this challenge is still soooo prevalent today. Many COOs I talk to share similar sentiments:   "I love Lean, but I do not see my KPIs continuously improving?" "We have ongoing improvements, but the impact isn't as visible as we'd like." Fast forward 20 years, and I'm crystal clear on this situation. Yes, I do understand very fast 😊 Next week, let's delve into how we can easily get back on track. 🚀   Best regards,

Starting as an Automation Technical Expert, he quickly transitioned to a Sales Manager, where he has led new automation projects and overseen modernization and retrofitting efforts. Understanding the needs and expectations of the clients and stakeholders while identifying the best solutions and technologies to improve the functionality, safety, and sustainability of the structures or systems are some of his superpowers. 💪 For Adriano, the main challenge of his job is to find solutions that allow necessary changes to be made with the lowest impact on the customer, making the investment profitable to continue their activity without jolts towards the future.

Reflecting on my diverse career journey, one word stands out with a flourish: RESILIENCE! From navigating the streets as a Lyft driver to working in an Alcoa plant, each experience has honed my ability to bounce back stronger. 🚗💪🏼 What's the most valuable lesson you've gleaned from your work experiences? Share below – let’s inspire each other! 🌟

We strive for a work culture where we share knowledge, lift each other up, and take responsibility for Spaljisten's development. Say hello to Hanna, one of our committed employees who recently transitioned roles from Logistics Administrator to Production Leader! 🔋 What energizes you at work? "I get energy from the fact that there is always so much to learn. It might sound cliché, but one learns something new every day! Plus, we have a great little group out here that energizes each other!" 💡 What is the most interesting aspect of your job right now? "Trying to sum up in a short answer what's most interesting is difficult - everything is super interesting! But perhaps gaining insight into the collaboration for real, between all the departments and competencies. It's becoming more and more apparent now how everything interconnects. In my new role as Production Leader, it doesn't feel like any day will be boring, since something is happening all the time - with personnel, processes, development, collaboration, projects. It's a challenge to weld it all together with the time available during the day, as nothing is less important than the other!"

A team leader's first real test, is during a conflict with another team. When each team has different priorities, but depend on each other - how do you handle that? For a very long time, I thought I was good at those, and I always ‘won’ them, and got what I wanted. In reality, while my engineers respected the 'fighting spirit', I alienated every other team in my previous organization… Akash Mukherjee covered the topic in a great article, that I wish I had read a couple of years ago :) https://lnkd.in/dMDrVr-8

These people are the difference. The algorithms are a tool. The TMS is a tool. Real time tracking is a tool. Automated spot bid pricing is a tool. Knowledge is a differentiator. Process is a differentiator. Servant leadership is a differentiator. Having the war stories and the best practices is a differentiator. A culture of continuous improvement is a differentiator. If you're looking at transportation management, let us know how we can help. We live it.
