professional career. I have a total of thirty years experience in the industry, focused upon organizational
and systems management software at the Restructuring and Business Process Optimization, Production
Planning, Supply Chain Management and mass customization. Much of my professional career has
evolved, mainly in Europe in countries like Germany, where my main activities focused on training and
consultancy services to companies such as Lowe-Opta, Michelin, Boehringer, Hoechts AG, Hauni AG,
MBB ( now EADS), in Israel with Electra, In Italy with Saeco, Russia with Unicum, and Greece as
NEOSET, ALUMIL, KLEEMANN, Calpak and others. Due to the nature of the work I had to travel

frequently in many countries of Europe for visits to major customers. The last 10 years I have focused my
activities in education and implementation methodologies like Demand Flow Technology and Lean
Manufacturing mainly in France, England, Germany, Italy, the Czech Republic, Israel, Russia and China.
Since 1997 I am cooperating with the German company Leonardo-Group GmbH, in order to provide
educational and consulting services designed to help companies that chose methodologies as Demand Flow
Technology, Lean Manufacturing in order to optimize business processes, so as to increase their
competitive capabilities in the new environment of intensive competition that prevail today in markets
where they operate. I own the trademark FlowPRaxis referring to methodology implementation of lean
management practices in the Factory and the Hospital.
A. Professional experience as employee
1996 - 1997
JCIT (John Constanza Institute of Technology, www.jcit.com), headquartered in Denver-Colorado, USA with work on the Nice, France. Appointment to the position of Director of Administration Methods, officer
training and applications "Methods of Demand Flow» (Demand Flow Technology) in Europe. The
methodology is a comprehensive business strategy that is springboard for adjusting an industrial enterprise
in amazingly immediate and structural changes in how products are designed, developed, ordered,
manufactured and distributed specifically to the period in which we live. The method is, for many a
panacea to creating competitive advantage for an industrial company. When implemented correctly, reduce
inventories, the size of the batch, the total production time and removes activities which do not add any
value to the product. This means:
1.
2.
for the enterprise: dramatically reduce the production cycle and delivery of the product,
for our customers: high quality and high degree of customization of products to be delivered
rapidly to the most competitive prices.
The method of flow demand is a strategic organization operating a plant-based
synchronization of business processes with market demand.

Future teaching interests
Keeping as backbone the design, organization and management of Supply Chain my main teaching
interests lay on connecting Supply Chain and Marketing especially covering contemporary and future
trends issues on lean customization and lean manufacturing for both, the factory, the hospital as well as the
energy supply sector in conjunction with ethics and responsibility in the society.
Research record and future research interests
In the last three years my main research interests were directed towards the collaboration between
Academia and Industry, in order to close the gap that I believe exits between experience gained in
academic research and experience gained in the industrial every day event to the benefits of both, academia
and industry. For this purpose a number of short projects were conducted in the form of final year work of
undergraduate students (around 50 in the last 3 years). In addition a project was conducted over the last
three years in collaboration with three targeted industrial companies from three different sectors (lifts,
furniture and packaging) in order to examine the impact of the customer live engagement in the product
value chain throughout the product life cycle. The first phase of the project was to establish the
requirements for the design and the implementation of a virtual living lab to conducting the research. The
research aims at reducing drastically the time for the development and introduction to production of new
products and services. The concept will be expanded to cover a wide range of mass customized products
and services, exploiting the benefits the internet provides, through crowdsourcing and the evolution of
value adding communities. The second phase of the project that just started will prove the validity of the
concept targeting at implementing a virtual living lab to function as a “The factory in the future”. Issues as
for example “design thinking” for acquiring new knowledge from user experience in collaboration with the
industry will be explored through a virtual living lab.
The following topics are top in my research interests.

Lean Customization and resilient surrounding sustainable Supply chains (R3SCM)
Lean Electricity and distributed Electricity Supply Chain
Heidegger’s hermeneutic Phenomenology for decomposing signification of everyday Supply Chain
