In the 38th episode of the "All Day Research" podcast, we welcome Dr. Xiaojun Yang, who talks to our host Marvin Beckmann about starting a business and her own company.
Dr. Xiaojun Yang has been studying mechanical engineering at Paderborn University since 2009, where she completed both her Bachelor's and Master's degrees. She then completed her doctorate at the Heinz Nixdorf Institute in the field of product development.
In the process, Dr. Xiaojun Yang learned how time-consuming production is when many individual parts have to be procured from many different manufacturers and suppliers and brought together. This problem led her to found the company Assemblean, which has set itself the task of taking over product procurement for large companies as well as start-ups. The technical term for this service is supply chain management.
"So supply chain [...] is the entire chain from purchasing to production to the finished product at the customer." The founder explains the term herself.
For future founders, Dr. Xiaojun Yang talks about the process of setting up a company and gives tips on how best to do this. She also explains how her company can help in concrete terms and what prerequisites are necessary.
She shares more exciting information about Dr. Xiaojun Yang's career with our presenter Marvin Beckmann.
