Jan Eeckhoudt

Supply Chain Continuous Improvement Leader EMEA
(Former) Axalta Coating Systems

In 2013, the Axalta Coating Systems leadership team mandated the Supply Chain Continuous Improvement (CI) organization to launch, design and implement a series of physical distribution network optimization work streams to significantly reduce (10%) the variable - and fixed finished product distribution expenses over a period of 1 to 2 years whilst maintaining the service levels to the customers. As a leader of the CI organization, Jan and his team help drive this project forward to achieve successful implementation with sustainable results. In addition to these continuous improvement projects Jan also supports the implementation of a new (global) multi-generation integrated supply planning system, all the way from S&OP to asset scheduling.
