Throughout this complex assignment, Mr. Rebo demonstrated the effective use of Lean Project Management methodology by efficiently coordinating schedules, assigning tasks, and mitigating risk. Mr. Rebo’s leadership ensured that the commissioning of the entire equipment was completed in accordance with the customer’s factory ramp-up plans.
