SVEN SUCHORDT

Director, Operations Practice

Sven is a proven operations leader with more than 20 years of hands-on experience in production and lean transformation. As segment head and plant manager, he carried budget and results accountability. He has led operations in series and high-mix/low-volume production through growth and restructuring.


At Daimler, he worked worldwide as a lean consultant and trainer. As Head of Body-in-White and Paint at AGCO Fendt, he merged both units into one value stream and built a high-performing production system. As plant manager of F.X. Meiller’s main plant in Munich, he realigned truck body assembly along the value stream. He built up shopfloor management and a consistent leadership rhythm.

Since 2023, he has advised boards, plant managers, and leadership teams on operational turnarounds, leadership system design, and international Kaizen programs. He helps organizations improve performance through clear ownership and accountability, continuous improvement of processes and systems, and sustained capability building.

Sven is part of our Operations Practice where we know that when operations are designed to flow, performance stabilizes naturally.

Lean Focus builds the systems and daily disciplines that eliminate firefighting and turn execution across safety, quality, delivery, inventory, and productivity, into a lasting competitive advantage.
