Accomplishments

  • I successfully managed a team of technicians and employees at Zarsim to deliver a 10-million-meter cable order in less than two weeks, without compromising quality, safety, or standards. I achieved this by implementing a 24/7 production schedule with three eight-hour shifts per day. This allowed us to maximize efficiency and productivity, while also ensuring that our staff had adequate rest and breaks. I also closely monitored the production process to ensure that all safety procedures were being followed and that the cables met all quality standards. As a result of my leadership, the order was delivered on time and to the customer's satisfaction.
  • As a member of a team of three at Part Arya, I led the design, prototyping, testing, modification, and production of a new line of products. Our team was the second in Iran to patent an intellectual property and list it on the Tehran stock market, which allowed us to secure a loan to finance our project. We were able to deliver high-quality products on time and within budget, and our products were well-received by customers.
