James Lusbec

This position involves supporting the client (Air France, Delta Airlines, Japan Airlines, etc.) by monitoring aircraft assembly point by point according to pre-defined visits, and following up on various observations and improvements made by me to meet client expectations.

The relationships between the client and all stakeholders are the core of this job, which consists of resolving all issues until they are settled during assembly, and even negotiating during the contract phase.

Excellent communication is important in the use of terms, exemplary behavior, and technical knowledge that will facilitate negotiation throughout the cycle until the final delivery of the aircraft.

At AIRBUS Industries, on the final assembly lines,

various roles were assigned to me to ensure better production flow, whether it was improving identified bottlenecks (AIRSPACE, new cabin design), extended scope (E2E, from the beginning to the end of the program), or as quality manager for specific elements.

These tasks were entrusted to me to improve the smooth operation of the assembly line, regardless of the problems encountered by employees, management, and to anticipate the occurrence of these problems for future projects. Close collaboration with all levels of management and the MSN manager (aircraft manager) is necessary for mutual progress and to harmonize the logistics processes or processes up to final assembly. As Quality Manager for the CAS Pivoting Project, I must ensure the quality of failures that occurred during its assembly on the aircraft and track their cause in collaboration with the Airbus Quality Department and the supplier.
