Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

Your company is running. Your teams are working. But at the end of the month, the margins aren't following... This isn't a staffing problem. It's not a market problem. It's an invisible organizational problem.

I work with industrial SMEs to identify exactly where time, energy, and money are being lost, and then I implement solutions to fix it sustainably.

My method is based on Lean and Kaizen principles: eliminate what hinders, standardize what performs, and embed operational excellence into the daily lives of your teams.

No 80-page reports. No theoretical recommendations. Concrete actions, measurable results, and tools that last.

Formerly a production manager in the industrial agri-food sector for 6 years, I know the reality on the ground, of a team under pressure, and of a leader who has to make quick decisions with little visibility. I don't consult from the outside: I do it from the inside.

Results achieved on recent assignments:

+10 points of OEE in 30 days

€260,000 of overtime eliminated in 14 days

Loss-making industrial site brought back to profitability in 6 months

All this without any material investment, just method.

If your company is performing below its potential, or if you are carrying alone, working 70 hours a week, what your team should be carrying, let's talk for 30 minutes.
