My name is Cesar Brambilla Rojo, i am Mexican and i am married with a pretty wife and have 2 adult young sons consolidated in ther professional careers.

I am Industrial Chemical Engineer by Autónoma University of Mexico. I have 40 years of professional background full time perfomed in rubber companies. My longer professional experience was related to production scheduling and control. As you know, the production control is the company brain. We received Mr. Araújo as consultant here is Cooper Tires, Guadalara, Mexico. He revised our system from raw material through finished goods. He made several recommendation to us such as. Relayout the materials storage area, resizing all materials area and rational lot size for scheduling.

He enphatized the use of quality tools to manage the production control such as Six Sigm, Lean, Just in Time, etc. Once theese tools are applied to production control we can identify bottleneck and how to solve it. Mr. Araújo helped us to eliminate several types of waste, how to reduce labor time, defective material or bad identification of materials.

I would like to say thank you Mr. Araújo, but we are so far from each other, i would say thank you very much.

Hi, i am Ali Trompiz, Industrial Engineer and i worked more than 30 years in Goodyear conpany in several functions such as productioin, Industrial Engineer and Continous Improvement.

I led high-performance teams, which led factories in Venezuela and Indonesia to achieve global recognition between the years 2013 to 2019 and the creation of best practices recognized at Goodyear worldwide.

All of this derived from results obtained by Lean Manufacturing projects. Process cost reduction and many other continuous improvement techniques that I learned from Mr. Antônio Ferreira de Araújo.

Antônio has been a great Coach in Latin America and Asia, always focusing on constantly identifying opportunities, always involving operators and production leaders.
Obtaining excellent results in the area of Safety, Ergonomics, Quality, Production and cost optimization of factories.

In my experience, talking about continuous improvement and process cost optimization is talking about Antônio Ferreira de Araújo.

My name is Dirlei Irvon Azzi, I’m here today to talk a little bit about Araújo.

Well, I worked with Araújo for 35 years at Goodyear do Brasil, where he showed his value, especially in issues related to Lean and Six Sigma and as a Master Black Belt.

Recently, emphasizing his work at the Municipal Hospital of Americana, where I played the role of Financial Director, Araújo came to join our team, exactly implementing these Lean Manufacturing processes within a hospital administration.

I can say that we have made great progress, with the improvement of scales and processes in the administrative area of the hospital.

My name is José Ronaldo Campos, I am a business administrator and I come here to present, talk a little about the experience with Antônio Araújo.

I worked for 34 years in a multinational tire company, I started as a production assistant and over these 34 years, the last 13 were at the executive level as Manufacturing Director.

I worked in 2 factories in Latin American countries, different cultures, different situations, factories with more technology, with less technology, and one of the people who helped me a lot in the process of improving the performance of these factories was Antônio Araújo.

Extensive experience, we worked together, Araújo worked at the same company for 36 years, 10 of them as master of 6 Sigmas, developing projects, training people, delivering solutions adding value to the product.

If you want to improve the performance of your factory, you have a bottleneck, you need the implementation of 6 Sigma, 5S, Lean Manufacturing, Plant Optimization, etc …

Araújo manages to unite the theory of universities with the practice of a multinational. He had the opportunity to work in Brazil and in factories outside Brazil as well.

It delivers solutions, adds value to the product, and is a very easy person to work with.
