About Dhia-Elhak

Engineer with over 6 years of experience at the intersection of two rarely connected worlds: industrial operational excellence (Lean Manufacturing / WCM) and product development.

This dual expertise allows me to be involved both upstream - design and industrialization of a new product - and downstream, in optimizing existing flows and lines.
I cover both the shop floor level (workstation, line) and the macro level: inter-building flows and inter-site benchmarking on a plant-wide scale.

Sectors of intervention: aeronautics-defense (Airbus D&S - strict traceability and certification), automotive (Renault Group - plant flow), fast-moving consumer goods (Procter & Gamble - detergent, zero defects), technical materials (Saint-Gobain - rock wool), and energy (EDF, program governance aspect).
This diversity is an asset: I transpose robust methods from one sector to another, with a fresh perspective on issues that internal teams sometimes no longer see.

What I do concretely: structured Lean/WCM diagnosis and Cost Deployment (prioritization of losses by ROI), animation of Kaizen and Lean Six Sigma workshops, SMED, 5S, support for new product industrialization - with the added rare skill among generalist Lean consultants: the use of predictive models (Machine Learning) to reduce the number of physical trials needed in product development.

Short to medium-term assignments (diagnosis, audit, specific workshop, training): I deliver quickly, transfer skills to internal teams, and do not seek to establish myself permanently on a site.
Each recommendation is adapted to the level of the interlocutor (Management / Operations / Shop Floor).

Experience

  • Saint-Gobain
    Product Development Engineer
    RAW MATERIALS INDUSTRY
    March 2024 - March 2026 (2 years)
    Azuqueca de Henares, Spain
    In a demanding industrial environment (fusion, fiberization, thermal and mechanical properties of insulation products), responsible for product development at the interface between R&D, process engineering, and production.

    Interface between R&D, process engineering, and production on product development and optimization projects, to ensure that evolutions tested in the lab are realistic and transferable to an industrial scale.
    Synchronization of test schedules with production line availability constraints, to limit the impact on throughput.
    Process and materials data analysis:

    Analysis of process and materials characterization data (thermal properties - lambda, mechanical properties, fire behavior) to identify levers for product performance optimization.
    Analysis of production cost variability linked to process deviations, to direct improvement priorities towards the most costly sources of variability.

    Development and use of predictive models (regression) to anticipate the likely outcome of a test before its physical launch, reducing the number of tests needed to converge on the target formulation or process parameters.
    Approach that accelerates the product development cycle while reducing the cost and machine time mobilized by the test campaign.
    Technical and economic evaluation of industrial tests:

    Contribution to the cost/benefit analysis of industrial tests conducted (trade-off between expected learning value and mobilization cost of lines), to prioritize the most profitable test campaigns.

    Development of documentation standards and cross-functional R&D / process / production reports, to ensure reliable decision-making and facilitate the capitalization of test results over time.
    Approach directly transferable to capitalization methods used in Lean Manufacturing.

  • Wavestone
    Consultant
    CONSULTING AND AUDITS
    July 2023 - October 2023 (3 months)
    92800 Puteaux, France
    On assignment at EDF as part of a digital transformation program, responsible for the cross-functional management of multi-project schedules and the structuring of documentary governance.

    Schedule Management (PMO):

    Tracking the progress of several program workstreams in parallel: consolidation of milestones, identification of deviations, and early alerts to project managers and management.
    Facilitation of follow-up rituals (steering committees, progress meetings): structuring reporting materials to provide a clear and actionable vision for decision-makers.
    Interface between field project teams and program governance, to streamline information flow and accelerate decision-making in case of schedule risks.
    Documentary Compliance:

    Ensuring compliance with EDF's internal procedures and program-applicable quality standards.
    Structuring and securing the program's documentary base (standards, minutes, deliverables) to ensure traceability and auditability.
    Consistency check between produced documents and procedural requirements, prior to internal reviews and audits.

  • Procter & Gamble
    Process Engineer
    RETAIL (LARGE RETAILERS)
    September 2020 - September 2022 (2 years)
    Amiens, France
    Process Engineer at Procter & Gamble, on a high-speed packaging line (filling, capping, labeling of liquid detergent) - process reliability and management of Lean Six Sigma continuous improvement workshops.

    Management of Lean Six Sigma projects: conducting workshops aimed at reducing production losses (stoppages, micro-stoppages, scrap) and improving overall line performance, through a structured root cause identification approach.

    Elimination of a recurring line stoppage through standardization: a recurring stoppage cause reduced to zero occurrences through reinforced standards - CPE (Critical Process Control Points), KWOPL (Operator Vigilance Checklists), and PM02 (Autonomous Maintenance, TPM pillar).

    Training and support for teams: training operators on new standards, with on-site support to sustainably embed practices in a 3x8 environment.

    Cross-functional alignment of quality / maintenance / production: close collaboration with these three functions to ensure consistency of standards, and alignment of technical indicators (failure rate, availability) with financial indicators (line stoppage cost), to provide management with a unified view of the business impact of Lean actions.
