A day in the life of Brian Maag

Erza Mehmeti: How long have you been with KYBURZ?

Brian Maag: I have been working at KYBURZ in the purchasing team since 01.10.2014.

Erza: What are your activities?

Brian: I work in purchasing and in AVOR. I work on purchasing projects, generate production orders and supply orders, which come from sales/inside sales, and have the responsibility for our parts lists. My product groups include lithium batteries, connectors, signal elements, automotive, and prints/electronics.

Erza: What is your typical daily routine?

Brian: Not every day of the week is the same. However, my day is filled with creating production and staging orders, scheduling materials, and contacting suppliers. Furthermore, as a service provider, we have to deal with various people and concerns in relation to most departments within the company. We work together with the development, quality assurance, production, and also for the service/webshop.

Erza: What do you like? What do you like less?

Brian: I like our dynamic company, where we work together to overcome challenges and master special situations. Above all, I like our purchasing team, which harmonizes perfectly between business and private life.

We as a team, as well as the whole company, have managed the Corona time super - see the production of all planned vehicles! This was a huge effort in terms of materials management along with all other projects and work. In this respect, we can all be proud of the performance of all Kyburzianer!

What I rather dislike is that due to the Corona time and the different locations we have much less personal exchange with the individual departments.

Erza: What do you enjoy doing in your free time?

Brian: In my free time I play soccer and classical guitar. At the moment there are unfortunately a few other activities that you can do outside or with other people, but I like to be around people.
