Operations, industrial performance

Production and all the support functions involved contribute towards industrial excellence by producing “the right product (or the right service) at the right time and at the least cost”.
We thus help:
- Maintenance departments to provide reliable equipment.
- Quality that can respond to the client’s precise requirements.
- Production planning to optimize use of equipment.
- Flow management to minimize the space occupied and make it possible to reduce production lead-times and inventories.
- Methods to define the best practices.
- Information systems for ensuring the sustainability of best practices.
- Human Resource Planning to adjust to changing needs and resources.
- Management to motivate and make the staff progress.
Beyond these key issues for performance, we have identified five cross-functional issues that also contribute towards industrial excellence:
- New product launching: How to guarantee short lead-times and minimal costs
- Best practices deployment: How to deploy corporate strategies in order to improve performance
- Lean manufacturing: How to increase production capacity and reduce manufacturing lead-times
- Supplier relationship management: How to set up a new efficient relationship with the strategic supplier and set up the concept of extended entreprise.
- Asset management: How to balance maintenance costs, performance and shelf life of the equipement
Examples of achievements:
- Deployment of lean manufacturing practices in eight Airbus production centres in Europe.
- Managing the Excellence in refining programme for Total (twelve refineries and central organisation).
