Employee story Louisa Krull
Position: Head of Supply Chain Project Management
Department: Supply Chain Project Management
With ElringKlinger since: 2015
What do you do at ElringKlinger?
My team and I are globally responsible for the smooth running and optimisation of all value and supply chains at ElringKlinger. We optimise existing supply chains, for example by introducing new, innovative digitalisation solutions. We also develop the necessary steps and processes for large, global customer projects – from the idea to the logistics concept and the start of the project.
How did you come to work at ElringKlinger and what made you decide to work here?
I completed a dual study programme in mechanical engineering at ElringKlinger, specialising in production technology. The application process for the degree programme at ElringKlinger left me with a positive and very personal impression, which is why I chose ElringKlinger. After my studies, I was taken on directly in the production planning department. Five years ago, I switched to the supply chain management department.

What are the essential qualities for a good supply chain project manager?
Above all, a successful supply chain project manager should be flexible and willing to constantly take on new challenges and develop new solutions. In addition, the ability to work in a structured way and to think through processes to their conclusion is essential. Only in this way can projects be implemented efficiently and the desired results be achieved.
What motivates you to give 100% at work?
When I see potential, it motivates me to give more. I can make a real contribution and help the company and myself develop. My environment and the team also motivate me a lot – we can laugh together and enjoy our work.
