Background

About Ossi Knaapi

I’m a data-driven production planner with a strong focus on simulation, automation, and continuous improvement. With a background in industrial manufacturing and a keen interest in AI and digital tools, I enjoy building and optimizing systems that turn complex data into actionable decisions. Currently working at Ejendals' safety footwear factory in Finland, I’ve developed advanced Excel-based simulation models to support production planning, capacity balancing, and strategic forecasting. I work closely across departments and use tools like SAP S/4HANA and Excel-based reporting to ensure alignment between operational execution and business targets. Outside of work, I’m passionate about exploring emerging technologies—from AI applications to designing and managing network infrastructure. I enjoy building solutions hands-on, whether it's improving digital workflows or creating resilient local networking setups. Let’s connect if you’re interested in data, automation, and turning good ideas into practical systems.
