Paul Truffy

Industrial engineer with a strong focus on Lean Manufacturing and Operational Excellence, I have built my expertise through hands-on experience in demanding industrial environments — packaging for Aerospace & Defense — managing teams of up to 50 people and overseeing €9M in direct revenue.

My track record speaks in numbers: +22% productivity gain in 18 months through full scheduling overhaul and flow linearization, –60% changeover time achieved via SMED on a main assembly line (+35% capacity unlocked), and –10% breakdown rate through structured preventive maintenance deployment.

I operate across the full Lean toolbox — VSM, SMED, AMDEC, TRS, 5S — with a systematic approach: diagnose, map, redesign, implement, train, and sustain. I have led transformation projects both as an internal resource and as an expatriate consultant (Slovakia, 2024), which sharpened my ability to deliver results quickly in unfamiliar environments.

Available for freelance Lean & Continuous Improvement consulting missions, I bring both the methodological rigor and the operational credibility to drive real, measurable change on the shop floor.
