Experiences

Since having founded asimi in 2009, I supervised numerous clients at national and international levels. Here, my areas of responsibility reached from project leadership to the temporary adoption of line functions. I would like to introduce to you an excerpt from my experience.


Wörwag Pharma GmbH & Co KG, Böblingen, Germany

Sector: Pharma

Duration: 5 months

Role: Interim Head Logistics


In this project I took over the operational management of the logistics team in a difficult situation, after the team previously had to manage without a professional head of department for almost half a year. This line position thereby also included Customer Service Domestic and Export, Demand Management and Logistics Contract Management, as well as the management of external logistics service providers. Together we were able to optimize the processes in Forecasting with the partial implementation of S&OP. I also supported the project team in the use of process management tools and the introduction of SCOR in logistics.

 

 

"Her extraordinary dedication, her sovereign and calm nature, and her autonomy and competence as well as her tenacity to take up stale topics, all these made her an important point of contact to me."

previous General Manager Wörwag Pharma GmbH, Böblingen,
now CEO Blanco Professional GmbH, Oberderdingen



SBB AG, Division Passenger Services, Bellinzona, Switzerland

Sector: Logistics

Duration: 8 months

Role: Interim Head Procurement Manufacturing Bellinzona


With SBB AG I took over the disciplinary and functional management of the local procurement team. It was also part of this project to continue building up the department of operative purchasing and materials management. Supplier management, quality assurance, process analysis and optimization were as much my job field.

 

 

"Mrs. Schlegel exceeded my expectations for the performance of this role, as she has not only run the daily operations as ad interim director, but continuously located improvements and sustainable solutions ."

AB Vista LTD., Marlborough, UK

Sector: Animal Food

Duration:  4 months

Role: Project Manager Logistics Project


At AB Vista I was responsible for the project management of the stock transfer from Frankfurt to Hamburg. In this context, I also consulted and coached the team in the field S&OP, and other supply chain issues such as organizational structure, process optimization, etc.

 

"Astrid has an extensive knowledge of supply chain management, both of the theoretical principles under-pinning best practice and the practical day-to-day operations, which is invaluable in providing organisational leadership for the supply chain function."

Supply Chain & Business Development Director

AB Vista LTD.



AB Enzymes GmbH, Darmstadt, Germany

Sector: Enzymes

Duration: 1 year 4 months

Role: Interim Global Supply Chain Director


In this mandate, I took over the line function as Global Supply Chain Director. I also supervised the further expansion of the global supply chain in China, North and South America. My other responsibilities included consulting on SCM for a global SAP project, as well as consulting in Supply Planning in S&OP process and the implementation of process improvements. Furthermore I developed the Supply Chain Strategy and was accountable for establishing the Global Quality Management Department. In addition, I managed the project "Central Distribution Center" including tendering and implementation.

 

"Astrid is a very reliable, experienced, solution-oriented and flexible person who succeeds in bringing the team with her and who links up very well with colleagues. She is strongly dedicated to meeting the client's needs, and it was a pleasure to work with her."

Life before and besides Interim Management

Project experience in permanent positions

 

Before I took the plunge into self-employment, I worked for many years in the supply chain sector with various chemical companies. Some interesting projects from this period have particularly influenced me:

 

  • Integration of logistics and construction of a principal structure in the supply chain during the acquisition / integration of a company
  • Development of a planning concept with building prototype for Advanced Planning Optimization System (SAP APO)
  • European Supply Chain Project to optimize and simplify the supply chain processes and integration of European Supply Chain. Development of the concept and detailed implementation plan
  • Inventory Reduction Program
  • Optimizing of European warehouse locations with outsourcing of services. Management of tendering process and implementation

 

 

 Teaching at universities

 

The topic of supply chain fascinates me not only on practical use but also on theoretical level. For this reason it is very important to me to pass on my experience to future managers.

As a lecturer for logistics at DHBW and the State University Basel I teach topics such as production logistics and general logistics / supply chain. This is also a good opportunity for me to be continuously up to date and pick up inspiring ideas of young minds.
