Tauno Mõts
Founder, Executive Manager and Consultant
Tauno graduated Tartu University in Economics in 2001 and has been involved in manufacturing companies ever since.
He has more than 15 years of experience in developing and implementing management systems that fulfill and exceed the requirements of international (automotive) management system standards and customer requirements including developing of operational software to run and support the management systems. Tauno has maintained and improved existing systems in manufacturing companies for increased efficiency and quality, but also developed and implemented completely new management systems from scratch to fulfill the ever growing requirements of leading electronics and automotive OEM-s and to keep up with the toughest competition.
Tauno’s last job before turning his full focus on Petkafy involved daily quality management, development and implementation of the companie’s management system according to ISO 9001, ISO 14001 and ISO/TS 16949 standards, but also management of projects department in Promens AS (today one of the world’s leading plastics converters). The first lines of software code were written by Tauno while working for Promens to achieve the tough automotive operational quality management targets, but he just couldn’t stop there once he saw how efficient things can become if You do it right.
Petkafy can be called a by-product of Tauno’s close co-operation with Janar Eit, another founder, who was in charge of production and business development in Promens at the same time and who can be called the father of Petkafy, because he wrote the first ever module for production reporting in all shifts.
