𝗔𝗱𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗼 𝗴𝗹𝗼𝗯𝗮𝗹 𝗰𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀: Meet Petri Haapala, Project Engineer and GT Transportation and Automation System Supervisor at Black Donuts Inc. With 30 years of experience in the tire industry, Petri specializes in spraying machines and has expertise in automated transportation systems, warehousing solutions, machine specifications, installation, commissioning, and acceptance testing. One of the most inspiring aspects of his work is the opportunity to collaborate with diverse cultures worldwide. "Working with different cultures is both challenging and inspiring—it's a constant learning journey," says Petri. For instance: 1. Warehouse layouts for tire factories are complex processes with no universal formula. They vary by regulatory, and operational context. 2. Greenfield projects (new factories) benefit from predefined specifications. 3. In contrast, brownfield projects (existing factories) require a more detailed, tailored approach that considers space, existing machinery, factory workflows, and logistics. 4. Work practices, safety standards, and sustainability priorities—directly affect factory layouts and require localized solutions. They influence how warehouses, machinery, and critical components are positioned within a factory.   ↳ "Understanding local norms is key to efficient, aligned layouts," Petri explains. "It's not just about meeting operational goals—it's about encouraging a positive work environment and ensuring compliance with regional standards." ↳ "At Black Donuts, we always aim to exceed expectations by combining global expertise with localized insights, delivering tailored, cutting-edge solutions that enhance efficiency and elevate operations to the next level," he says. What do you think is the biggest challenge when adapting factory layouts to different operational environments?

Placing a production engineer in an executive office too early—before they’ve spent 10-12 years on the field—is like underutilizing their potential. Real production efficiency, improvement, and development come when engineers spend time on the ground, tackling challenges firsthand. An engineer who actively engages with field operations, solves problems, and gets hands-on experience can significantly reduce scrap, maximize output, and ensure cost-effective production. I’ve personally seen this by guiding and involving my young engineers in the field, delivering exceptional results—and even better outcomes are on the way! #ProductionEfficiency #Leadership #EngineeringExcellence #OnFieldLearning #ContinuousImprovement #ManufacturingSuccess #wiresandcables #wires #cables #production
