Operations Director and Automation Specialist
Marek Duda
Practitioner, not a theorist
Since October 2017, Marek has been making sure the numbers at Silesia Profit Solutions match to the last penny. You won't find colorful presentations without substance with him. For 14 years, he worked directly on assembly lines in Tychy and Gliwicach. He knows perfectly well that a minute of downtime on the floor costs an average of 487 zlotys, which is why his reporting systems must operate failure-free. Results based on numbers are the only acceptable currency in business for him.
Hard data from the production line
In 2024, Marek personally implemented 39 systems for automatic data collection directly from machine controllers. Instead of three employees transcribing data into paper notebooks every morning, one panel on the floor now shows everything in real-time. Honestly, most companies we visit are initially afraid of the truth about their costs. Marek helps them go through this process, cutting unnecessary energy expenditures by 12.4% in just 34 days from the start of measurements.
Zero redundant tables
Marek believes in the simplicity that is missing in modern software. According to him, if a report has more than 4 key indicators, it's simply overloaded and unreadable. At Silesia Profit Solutions, he is responsible for ensuring plant directors get a concrete report on their phone at 6:15 AM, not a thick binder at the end of the month. He himself wrote over 1,238 scripts that daily churn data for large stamping plants and steel mills in the Silesia region today.
Industrial precision of reports
He can be stubborn, but only when he sees errors in the logical connection of data with finances. Usually, you'll find him at a client's site on the floor, because that's where you see best where the margin is leaking. He doesn't promise miracles, but guarantees that after his intervention, the time spent on tables in the accounting department is reduced by 19 hours a month. That's 2.4 full business days your people can spend on real work instead of fighting with a freezing computer.
P.S. Marek usually doesn't answer calls before 8:30 AM – that's when he does floor rounds at one of our 114 permanent clients.
