2017 - maintenant
Led the company’s performance plan: defined the overall performance strategy, organizations and management system at all levels of the organization to increase productivity by 10%
•Significantly contribute to programs profitability by 10% to 15%, by leading performance projects in a cross-organizational collaboration, based on two axis:
o REPEAT project – leveraging serial effect and the building series of “similar ships” (4 to 6) decreasing cost by 10%
o Design to Cost - optimising product and equipment’s design and the purchase strategies , reducing the costs of procurement by 5%
• Worked closely with the department heads, Program Managers and executive management in defining and spearheading the roadmap and actions plan across the overall organization and our subcontractors
• Substantially increased the efficiency of operational and industrial performance :
o Decreased manufacturing and outfitting damages, non-qualities and reworks by 50% by implementing a systematic feedback to track performance and share analysis of activities efficiency (Pareto analysis of non-qualities, costs breakdown, industrial organization)
o Reduced the outfitting timeline by 10% by optimizing works sequence and its supply planning and a better forecasting of preparedness and kitting
o Worked closely with key subcontractors to improve operational performance and industrial activities by sharing return of experiences, major causes of disruptions and best practices
• Notably improved products cost efficiency by more than 5%
o Defined and implemented systematic methods of value engineering and reengineering during the design activities
o Established a dedicated design unit to support outfitting teams and ensure an continuous design optimisation along the manufacturing phases
o worked closely with main suppliers to improve cost of major equipment’s and integrate new technologies
o Optimised the industrial policy and purchase strategy
