Redressement d'une activité de fabrication mécanique de précision (outillage d'impression, façonnage et découpe de carton). Amélioration du taux de service (de 30 à 99%). Concentration de l'activité sur 60% de la surface. Cela a créé l'opportunité d'une opération immobilière de plus de 2M€.

During my time over here, I collaborated with former key shareholders and provided assistance to sell the company. It was me who transformed the business unit by following the quote "fewer, better, bigger" and rationalised catalog to decrease costs and increase revenue line. It is worth mentioning that I designed a work system to simplify the vision, control, and implementation for performance maximisation. Furthermore, I restructured and implemented a fast and advanced process resulting in contractor's panel shrinking, from supplier to partners relationship as well as collaborated for "end to end loop" to resolve client's issues and achieve satisfaction. I achieved the following: • Boosted EBITDA revenue by 4 times worth 3.8M in 2012 to 16.2M in 2019, through the implementation of various operation optimization strategies. • Aided/aimed to secure a huge amount worth €35M of CAPEX and maintained "savoir faire" while the proposal of rebuilding cyclic furnace. • Developed customer-centric association and transformed/modernised plant to save over €3M run rate a year. • Increased SERVICE level from 30% to 95% OTIF while executing various development techniques and policies. • Decreased backlog cost from €4M to €250K effectively.

It was me who planned and aligned production schedules as well as evaluated project and resource requirements for smooth flow of operations. I also supervised and assessed performance of production personnel in compliance with company's guidelines. Key contribution: • Oversaw the repositioning procedure of operation to Ailly-sur-Noye and managed PSE of 40 personnel.

During my time over here, I developed and implemented various business strategies, plans, and procedures to enhance productivity and growth. I also assessed 150+ personnel's performance by analysing and interpreting information and metrics. Liaised with key stakeholders and fostered professional relationships.
