EDUCATION
2010 – 2015 De Montfort University, Leicester, UK
PhD. Advanced Process Engineering and Lean Six Sigma
Title: Reduce the level of variability in food flow processing system.
Summary: The proposed methodology combines; Process mapping; it is a lean tool for
identifying value and non-value activities. Simulation modeling; is for mirroring the real
production line. Taguchi Orthogonal Arrays; is for generate different scenarios and then apply
correlation for help in identify the highest variable (working). Rule based system; is an
artificial intelligent tool for improve the highest variable areas.
Achievement: The achievement was increase working in bottleneck areas as the following:
o Baking 4%
o Cooling conveyor 16%
o Packing 6%

SUMMARY
After completing a BSc course in Industrial System Engineering in 2005, I worked for 20
months as a Process Improvement Team Manager in the National Biscuits and Confectionary
Company (NBCC) in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia. I worked as a process improvement tema manger
in the Operations Management Department to improve the efficiency more than fourteen
production lines.
In order to improve my knowledge and skills in operations management, I started an MSc
course in Supply Engineering and Logistics at Warwick University which is one of the top
universities in the UK. During my dissertation project I became interested in applying the
concept of ‘Lean’ to reduce waste and increase efficiency. Because of this interest, I decided

2. to start a PhD with the Lean Engineering group at De Montfort University in 2010. In
addition, I certified by Black Belt lean six sigma.
I am looking forward to applying my knowledge and skills for lead the change and process
improvement.
WORK EXPERIENCE
2005-2007 Full -Time Job @ National Biscuit & Confectionary Company P. O. Box
30972, Jeddah 21487, KSA.
Position: Process Improvement Team Manager in the Operations
department.
Responsibilities: Improve production lines Efficiency and reduce waste
using lean six sigma tools Pareto chart, Standardisation (SOP, Work
instruction, product characteristics),Kizen, 5's, FTQ(first time quality),
SMED (changeover improvement),Poke Yoke, Good Manufacturing
Practise GMP, and hygienic for food Haccp.
Achievements :
 I helped to achieve the Vision of National biscuit and confectionary
company NBCC to be the no. 1 for snack manufacturing in the Middle
East during my work.
 By applying lean six sigma tools 5's, Pareto chart , Poke Yoke , and
kaizen we manage to reduce wastes from one of biscuits production
lines from %15 to %7.
 By applying lean six sigma tool SMED in biscuit production line we
managed to reduce changeover time from 30 min to 15min.
2002-2004 Seasonal Job during my BSc @ Rakb Al-Noor Company, P. O. Box 6969,
Jeddah, KSA. Responsible for operations services for the people including
accommodation, transport, food and other logistic services.
