In my current role at Ardex, I am responsible for overseeing and optimizing several key aspects of production operations. My main tasks include:• Production Planning: I manage production schedules, organize stock, and ensure raw materials are issued on time to keep production running smoothly.• Team Management: I lead and coordinate production teams, ensuring efficient workflow and effective communication across all levels.• Maintenance Management: I organize and plan maintenance… Show more In my current role at Ardex, I am responsible for overseeing and optimizing several key aspects of production operations. My main tasks include:• Production Planning: I manage production schedules, organize stock, and ensure raw materials are issued on time to keep production running smoothly.• Team Management: I lead and coordinate production teams, ensuring efficient workflow and effective communication across all levels.• Maintenance Management: I organize and plan maintenance activities, ensuring machines are well-maintained and downtime is minimized.• Safety and Compliance: I oversee safety procedures, hold monthly meetings with the team, and ensure the implementation and regular updates of new safety protocols.• Problem Management: I address and resolve operational issues promptly, ensuring smooth production flow and continuous improvement.Additionally, I was involved in a three-week project in Adelaide focused on calculating the OEE of one of our machines and identifying the reasons behind its underperformance. During this project, I:• Calculated the OEE to assess the machine's efficiency.• Identified the key causes of underperformance, ranking them from most to least critical.• Proposed actionable solutions to improve the machine's performance, contributing to overall efficiency.Result: The main cause, which accounted for 27% of downtime, was reduced to 7% the following week. The second cause, which accounted for 15% of downtime, is now part of a project to eliminate it. Show less

At an industrial site with 200-300 employees and in a context of budget reduction following the site's expansion, my missions were to reduce production costs and optimize production line performance.My main tasks were as followsImplementation of an automated OEE:• Data collection across various production zones. (Production time, issues, downtime...)• Calculation of the cost/time of production for over 1000 different finish good.• Processing and formatting of data using… Show more At an industrial site with 200-300 employees and in a context of budget reduction following the site's expansion, my missions were to reduce production costs and optimize production line performance.My main tasks were as followsImplementation of an automated OEE:• Data collection across various production zones. (Production time, issues, downtime...)• Calculation of the cost/time of production for over 1000 different finish good.• Processing and formatting of data using Power Query• Analysis of data using Power BI along four main axes: Production quantity, production time, issues (Pareto analysis), and Overall Equipment Effectiveness (Availability, Performance, Quality)• Update and monitor the OEE of the production workshopsResult: The identification and quantification of downtime led to the opening of several projects, resulting in an increase in overall OEE.Implementation of new on-site continuous improvement methods.• Kick-off meeting and establishment of bi-weekly meetings with stakeholders to track project progress• Implementation, tracking, and updating of project KPIs.• Deployment and implementation of the method. (Setting production goals, production KPIs, analyzing production variances, identifying problems, and finally resolving these problems)• Employee training on the method and problem-solving techniques• Follow-up, and assistance to workers in problem-solvingResult: 20 employees trained and over 50 problems resolved for an approximate savings of 150,000 euros.Optimization of production areas through the 5S method.• Project organization (Kick off, follow up, planning…)• Monthly meetings with team leaders to establish KPIs and update them• Training and awareness sessions for employees on the method• Team management to ensure project completion on timeResult: 70% of the work was completed in one and a half years, compared to the originally projected 3-year timeline.
