Ralf M. led a task force of internal and external experts to optimise a complex production line.  I was particularly impressed by his project organisation, his structured and analytical way of working and his communicative skills.   This enabled us to quickly establish a relationship of trust both with the employees in the production  as well as with the management – an essential precondition for solving the complex task at hand.

Successful product design is more than just beautiful design – it requires teamwork of different disciplines.  I have come to know and appreciate Ralf as a creative and inspiring “sparring partner”, who always finds the optimal combination of economic efficiency, design standards and customer benefits. Additionally he does not hide away from difficult but necessary discussions.   The many years of successful collaboration at alfi are the best proof for his above qualities.

Ralf supported the sourcing process , the technical monitoring and the approval process for a plastic assembly unit (tool making – injection moulding – assembly) made in India. His technical expertise and decision-making ability enabled the project to run smooth and on time. Several on site visits enabled a deep mutual understanding of both, the customer requirements and the production possibilities. Besides his technical expertise Ralf brought a lot professionalism to the project in terms of a systematic approach and time discipline. Working with Ralf was a real pleasure as he was a professional at work and also a very warm individual.

I met Ralf M.  in a project for the optimisation of fineblanked parts for the automotive industry.  In particular, his analytics/methodology and hands-on mentality  led to quick and good results.  In the further course of the project, I was also convinced by the documentation and regular  communication – this way we were always “up to date” and felt very well informed.

As a product manager (and later as strategic buyer & technical director) Ralf visited our showrooms and factories in China many times. We deeply appreciate his problem solving skills, which require both engineering and intercultural competencies.

I have found Ralf to be an innovative and curious engineer, but also a tough and fair buyer/negotiating partner. He has a good sense of what is feasible and with his pragmatic and solution-oriented style,  working together with Ralf is always great fun.

I had the opportunity to work with Ralf M. for several months on a customer project to optimise a complex production process.In his role as an external project manager, he has embedded all project participants, informing and motivating them to solve the problem together.  The good mix of appreciation/recognition in dealing with each other and clearly formulated “hard” tasks and requirements, has led to both, a professional and pleasant working atmosphere.

We are an italian based company for zamak products and have production plants in Italy and China. Ralf is an innovative technical expert and a focused buyer at the same time – so many challenges could be resolved due to the holistic approach on technical , design and commercial aspects . This really helped us to gain development and implementation speed.
