About the Trainer
Milos is a well-trained Professional (Chartered) Mechanical Engineer from the UK with a very strong academic background (MSc in Advanced Mechanical Engineering with the First-Class Honours pass) from Imperial College in London UK, which is one of most distinguished academic institutions globally with strong engineering pedigree. Milos studied for his undergraduate degree in Serbia, Belgrade where he focused his studies on Production Engineering and Industrial Robotics & Automation.
Milos was professionally certified as: Lean/Six Sigma Green/Black Belt practitioner from the Automotive & logistics industries, trained and certified Lean Product Development and Lean Manufacturing Consultant, Trained to PMP standards for Project Management competencies, completed Ford’s Technical Academy covering practical application of various manufacturing technologies and quality management tools (FMEAs etc.). Milos was also a trainer at Danfoss Business System Academy specialising in Leadership in NPD courses’ delivery.
Milos mastered Product Development Stage Gate Frameworks by working in the Automotive, Logistics and many other industries. As a Senior consultant for Product Development Program in Danfoss, Milos was serving global manufacturing & supply chain footprint by introducing best practises in New Product Development and Market Introduction. During that period Milos mastered delivery of the “3P” workshop (Product and Process Preparation”), a modified version of an original Toyota tool. “3P” is a vehicle for adoption of DFM/A during the product concept development in a very practical sense. Milos adopted the best approach to scale and tailor this workshop to the needs of various cross-functional NPD teams to help them eliminate expensive and late design changes by making the right and timely design decisions with predictable impact on the manufacturing and on the supply chain. Milos was also known as a senior technical leader and subject matter expert for adoption of FMEAs and other quality tools in NPD. This knowledge proved fully complementary to DFM/A.
Milos is known for his Gemba (“Go and see”) style of working within the manufacturing environment, as he insists on practical solutions rather than on academic discussions. This being the prerequisite for adoption of DFM/A.
Milos was partnered with a distinguished Danish consultancy – Valcon where he supported efforts with large scale manufacturing clients to adopt a very advanced design methodology called “Robust Design” Milos will address the fundamentals of the “Robust Design” and how it directly complements the DFM/A principles during the training. “Robust Design” is about designing out the need for tight tolerances by elimination of geometrical over-constraints. By adopting this practical design skill, it is possible to eliminate significant costs from the entire supply chain – practicalities will be explained during the training.
Milos was an associate of a Californian-based NPD consultancy – DRM associates, and he was delivering numerous DFM/A training workshops to the US-based clients.
During his career Milos had a truly global experience working on all continents and cooperating with a variety of manufacturers, toolmakers, designers, consultants etc, which gave him a unique blend of consolidated industry-wide case-studies, and the authority of a technical expert in this field – DFM/A. Milos can effectively transfer the knowledge to any new client/industry through analogies and similarities and based on his prior experience.
Milos is a very entrepreneurial person, loves action and results, is simple yet effective and approachable communicator and trainer. He can coach, train, inspire, problem-solve, and make an instant change in any organization.
Throughout his career, Milos achieved significant results, such as supporting clients in reducing new product development cycles, improving product quality and serviceability, cutting tooling lead times, and transforming team cultures. Some case study examples can be found on: www.simmtex.com
