Who is behind this process elephant idea?

 

My name is Henning Strubelt and I am a Professor for Warehouse Technology, Planning and Organisation at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences. I have several years of experience in the fields of process analysis, value stream mapping, lean management and of course warehouse planning.
I hold a degree in Industrial Engineering with a specialization in Logistics (Diplom-Wirtschaftsingenieur Logistik) and a successfully completed doctoral degree in Engineering (Dr.-Ing.). In addition to my work at Bremerhaven University of Applied Sciences, I am also a visiting professor at Chiang Mai University, Thailand, teach at the Technical University of Applied Science Wildau, and held teaching positions at Anhalt University of Applied Sciences, and the Vietnamese-German University, Vietnam. Before I became a professor, I worked as a senior lecturer at the Institute of Logistics and Material Handling Systems at the Otto-von-Guericke-University Magdeburg and for several years as a Business Process Expert in the area order-to-cash processes.

In my profession, I regularly teach undergraduate and graduate classes, give seminars, and conduct workshops. Besides my academic occupation, I try to stay as close as possible to the practice or the real world work problems. Therefore, I regularly conduct projects in the fields of Process Analysis, Value Stream Mapping, and Lean Management with industrial partners and also work for and/or cooperate with regional companies. References are provided upon request. I hold the following certifications: PRINCE2 project management and ASQ Certified Six Sigma Green Belt.
