I have experienced a variety of engineering and industrial environments since beginning my career as a Mechanical Engineer.

The skillsets and methodology developed in my military career as a Marine Engineer Officer in the Royal New Zealand Navy are different to those I have gained as Manufacturing Engineer the Fast Moving Consumer Goods (FMCG) industry. However one thing in common was both industries required a high level of performance from their plant and equipment and equally from their engineering teams. Both industries had elected to adopt lean principals to drive continuous improvement and although the application of the tools were slightly different the principals remained the same.

Having has some great learning experiences from Udemy myself, I thought I would contribute as an instructor and provide insights to the lean environment from an engineering perspective.
