As part of my Bachelor's degree in Industrial Systems Management from the Higher Institute of Industrial Management of Sfax, I conducted a graduation project at SANIMED. Project Title: Improving Mold Quality in the Modeling Department of SANIMED Objective: Enhance mold quality to meet casting department needs and reduce defects. Methodology: Applied the DMAIC approach (Define, Measure, Analyze, Improve, Control). Mapped the manufacturing process to identify inefficiencies (SIPOC diagram). Diagnosed performance using FMEA. Identified root causes with Ishikawa and 5 Whys. Proposed recommendations to reduce waste and improve reliability. Results: Reduced mold defect rate, improving efficiency and quality. Strengthened analytical and problem-solving skills. Developed technical and communication competencies. I take pride in this formative experience and the opportunity to contribute to SANIMED's manufacturing excellence.

During my summer internship at MERI, a company specializing in the EPC sector, I had the opportunity to explore various aspects of the profession. I first worked in the design office, where I gained skills in technical design and analysis. Then, I joined the purchasing department, participating in procurement processes and order management. Finally, I spent time in the prefabrication workshop, where I observed the production of double-walled piping, learning about the steps involved in prefabrication in the piping industry. This internship allowed me to develop a comprehensive understanding of the different stages in the production chain and strengthen my practical skills in engineering and project management.
