Inside PLANLICHT
There, he started as a production worker and gradually took on more responsibility until he eventually became a foremen. Over the years, his interest in the processes behind actual production also grew: What happens before a production schedule arrives in the factory? How are the information from the various departments combined? And what is needed to ensure that production runs smoothly? These questions eventually led him to the work preparation department. Today, Daniel is responsible for the batch list system and production control there, among other things.
Experience that connects
It is precisely the interplay between the various departments that makes Daniel’s current work particularly exciting. The tasks are varied; no day is the same as the next, and interaction with production and engineering is, of course, part of the job.
Particularly helpful in this regard is the fact that he is familiar with the production processes himself. He knows what matters in practice and what requirements individual work steps entail. This understanding makes it easier for him to connect planning with the actual conditions in the production process.
The right information at the right time is crucial for this. Especially in the case of the batch list system, information from the involved departments must be combined. Communication is therefore an essential prerequisite for functioning processes. Because only when everyone pulls together can the individual work steps result in a harmonious overall result.
Continue to develop together
PLANLICHT itself has also changed since Daniel joined the company. Processes and workflows have been continuously developed – both in the manufacturing department and in other departments. Daniel particularly appreciates the increasing digitalization.
His own professional development shows how versatile the opportunities within the company can be. From the production worker to the foreman and on to work preparation, he has learned about different tasks and perspectives. Experiences that accompany him today and shape his perspective on the interplay between the various departments.
An environment that brings people togethert
In addition to his duties, it is primarily the work environment and his colleagues that motivate Daniel even after many years at PLANLICHT. He describes the collaboration as helpful and uncomplicated. And of course, one or two jokes are not to be missed.
He particularly appreciates the family atmosphere: „When it comes down to it, you can always communicate on an equal footing and are supported.“
FOR DANNY, PLANLIGHT means above all stability. At the same time, it is the open collaboration that enriches his work day and makes cooperation across departmental boundaries a matter of course.
And when it comes to light, it gets personal too. For Daniel, light stands for life, warmth, and comfort. Among the PLANLICHT lights are the halo ring light, the p.thirty profile light, and the odelia round surface light – all favorites of his.
„Simply do it“
Daniels„ path shows that professional development does not always have to be fixed from the beginning. Interest, experience, and the willingness to take on new tasks can open up new perspectives. His advice to new colleagues is formulated accordingly in a pragmatic and with a wink of the eye: “Have patience and just do it. What could possibly happen?”
Perhaps that also best describes his own path at PLANLICHT: staying open-minded, trying new things, and developing further step by step.
