Working week

Manager Product & Systems

On an enjoyable workday, you have insight into the achieved results thanks to the applied products and system standards within the sales and project departments. You discuss these successes with your team and jointly look for ways to implement further improvements.

"On an average workday, you receive a lot of negative feedback from departments about problems with systems or product issues in the field. You need to quickly analyze these problems and work with your team on solutions to prevent recurrence."

Firsthand experience

There is a problem with a used subsystem in an active project that has been defined by one of your departments. What do you do?

First, you bring all involved stakeholders and departments together to thoroughly discuss the problem. During this consultation, you identify the exact issues and determine whether they stem from not following instructions and setup, or if there is an error in the system standard itself. It is important to clarify the causes and responsibilities at this stage so that everyone understands what went wrong and why. After identifying the cause, you take action to resolve the issue. If it appears that instructions and setup were not followed, you guide the involved teams and ensure clear communication about the correct procedures. If the problem lies in the system standard, you adjust it to prevent future recurrence. Subsequently, you organize a retraining for all relevant departments to ensure everyone is aware of the updated standards and procedures. This process not only helps resolve the current problem but also improves the overall quality and reliability of systems within the organization.
