Broad Exposure to business processes
A typical work day starts at 6 in the morning, its characterised by reacting to what happened in the past 24 hours production, this reaction is always reviewed against the long term strategy, I work with diverse supporting departments and divisions, the aim is to ensure that we integrate our support team in tactics , plans , processes and strategies in order to supply good quality products to our internal customers. People are dynamic, self leadership is ideal, all can be achieved through Team-work. Honesty , trust, integrity and respect are the core values that create a good working atmosphere. I enjoy the passion , the undisputed will to make a difference or an improvement. I enjoy designing and developing processes that change the Business is done. Everyday is unpredictable, leading a much older and experienced team of professionals.
Pros: Great opportunity to be promoted into an executive position & Great opportunity to go into an Expat position abroad
Cons: Bigger company , minimal cost improvement gains are not given recognition.

Efficient
I have lots of experience in auditing, finance, management accounting, financial accounting, HR, payroll, financial statements and IT. Very good at excel. I am career driven, I am an efficiency champion. I am deadline driven. I am self motivated. I am a great leader coach and mentor and I have had great opportunities to explore these qualities in my current organisation. I have completed my Topp articles in a large international manufacturing company. Prior to that I have done one year of articles at the Auditor General SA. This has given me an advantage and great experience in auditing and for this I feel that I can fit in anywhere in an organisation and I can lead anywhere.

I work in both Finance and IT and all the skills obtained during my articles are being put to great use at this point.

Great opportunity for growth and learning to work under pressure
Mercedes Benz is a big organization and working under the quality department, as a quality planner comes with a lot of pressure. Because Mercedes Benz is a prestigious brand. I work with a quality planner and I ensure that we have measures in place to prevent cars from leaving our plant with defects or faults. I also compile daily quality reports and report quality perfomence. And put pressure on areas where we are lacking the most in terms of producing good quality. It is a great and big organization to work for and with a lot of benefits as well. The work culture is good but we deal with a lot of pressure and people don't take issues personal as they know it's part of work to make certain decisions so we can produce quality cars.
Pros: Great opportunity to travel abroad and learn from overseas plants
Cons: No specific time to go home and stress level are high
