Recruited by General Electric, I worked in the continuous product improvement management department. I created subcontract module packages and managed relationships with partners. I also carried out unit analysis with a selection of the units in the projects, using tools such as VBA. I then plotted all the comparisons using downloads of all the units and carried out the analysis using VBA.

I've also worked as a coach for teams and managed the implementation of an ERP system for purchasing management. I set up automated planning in Excel using VBA to improve efficiency and productivity, and anticipated team recruitment. In addition, I drafted and deployed safety sheets to ensure compliance with current safety standards and programmed machines to improve production processes and optimise performance.

As an improvement team manager and coach, I used the DINAMIC method to optimise mass machining and improve production changeovers on 15 machines. I also created more flexible lines, reducing errors and increasing production. I deployed ERP add-ons such as Satelites Helios to monitor schedule changes in real time and reduce overall stock.

Experience in assembling wing centre sections for the A320, A330 and A350 programmes. Tasks carried out: making up the panels, semi-automated assembly on the machine, finishing the panels and demoulding. I was also responsible for replacing workstations on the casing production lines, from the start of the lines to delivery (from Nantes to St Nazaire), as well as managing the logistics of components requiring no modification for all programmes.

As a continuous improvement technician, I played a role in participating in LEAN meetings and improving machines and the workshop using LEAN methods such as SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die), TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) and 5S (Seiri/Sort, Seiton/Straighten, Seiso/Shine, Seiketsu/Standardize, Shitsuke/Sustain). I was also responsible for managing and coaching LEAN actions throughout the workshop. I planned and implemented an improvement room serving as an execution centre for the aluminium profile manufacturing workshops. Thanks to these actions, we were able to significantly improve production quality, reduce downtime and increase the workshop's productivity. In addition, I was in charge of monitoring key performance indicators, as well as training and developing the production teams.

Results

As a manufacturing agent for aluminium, aluminium-lithium and titanium parts, I worked on the production of small sections, maximum 150 mm squared in lengths of up to 10 m. I worked with the methods department to demonstrate new manufacturing processes, and I also coached and trained new arrivals. I closely monitored the performance of the equipment to ensure optimum quality of the parts produced.

Results
