At 4Results, I am responsible for the development of services focused around the Shingo Model and Total Productive Maintenance. It is important for me to gain knowledge and experience at the source; hence I am responsible for partnerships with SHINGO Institute and JIPM.

Within the team, I am responsible for the substantive development of: Autonomous Maintenance, Professional Maintenance, Focussed Improvement, Education and Training, Quality Maintenance, Early Management, SHE, TPM in Office, Workplace Organisation, 5S Programme, Loss and Cost Deployment, and Policy Deployment.
The aim of my work is to provide customers with the highest standards in their organisational culture change programmes. My team works in a comprehensive manner, starting from the analysis to the development of specific, sustainable and measurable results. The results of our work on the customer’s side include increased profitability, improvement of production indicators, elimination of all kinds of losses in the production area, but above all, a change in the organisational culture.
My experience includes more than 20 years of realisation and implementation of optimisation projects in production companies in Poland and abroad.
