John Sakwe
I am John Sakwe, member of Fontys “Lectoral Smart Marketing and Strategy” and lecturer of international business (IB). I teach various operations subjects including supply chain, logistics and business process management. I also provide Lean Six Sigma training and coaching. From a process improvement background, over the years I developed interest on spare parts supply chains and performance improvement of products service systems in the capital goods industry including product life cycle performance improvement.
In this vein, my research interests focus on decreasing downtimes of Industrial Products Services in the capital goods market using the capabilities of industry 4.0 tools such as big data, machine-learning approaches. On this topic I am currently doing a PhD-research at the University of Twente.
Main project: Designing an approach to minimize downtimes of product service systems using smart technology

Iris van Hest
My passion for research started during my bachelor where I was in Moscow doing field research. Maybe it was due to the fact that this was the first time I performed a “paid” project, or maybe due to the cultural difference between the Netherlands and Russia. I realised that thinking about your research design is absolutely crucial in marketing. I further explored that during my Master Marketing Management, where I got so enthusiastic about research that all my electives where related to research methods! Ever since I believe well preformed research can add incredible insides for companies and I have seen that in “real life” during my work as a projectmanager at GfK. It may not come as a surprise that I teach all research related courses available in my department Commercial Economics.
My goal is to make research “accessible”, logical and practical for students, so I aim to build a bridge between the theory of doing research and students who need to understand and implement research. By using a bottom up approach I am passionate about showing students how natural research is to us as humans. Because, we as humans are curious creatures!
