Freelancer profile translated to English.

Description

I support industrial sites and SMEs in the measurable improvement of their performance: reduction of losses, process reliability, and success of launches and ramp-ups. With over 22 years of industrial management experience with major automotive equipment manufacturers (Yazaki, Lear, LEONI, Delphi), I have led Lean transformations, Six Sigma DMAIC approaches, project launches, and multi-site production transfers. Today, as an independent consultant, I intervene – often remotely – on topics that directly impact your bottom line:

• Lean & Performance Audit: OEE diagnosis, losses and flows, prioritized action plan

• Launch & Ramp-up Support: preparation, management, and controlled ramp-up

• Production Transfer: structured methodology to secure multi-site continuity

My approach is pragmatic and results-oriented, adapted to real-world constraints. First free scoping call (25 min).
