Patrick Bar Email & Phone Number

After starting out as a research engineer in refractory materials, I worked for 5 years in the technical-commercial field where I was in charge of technical development for motorists and equipment manufacturers. I worked for 2 years in Germany in a sales agency to support sales and establish technical links with French factories. I then held this position on a French site where I was in charge of export customers. I turned to the industrial field because it corresponded to my aspirations. I was responsible for operations and methods then took responsibility for the department (production/maintenance and methods). I am comfortable on a daily basis in management, in controlling cost centers, and in driving continuous progress. I also enjoy leading managerial projects (already a Mac Kinsey teammate twice in 10 years). For 7 months, I have been working with a "lean manufacturing integrator" firm (GEOLEAN) and am the Manager of a Project whose main objectives are, on the one hand, improving the customer service rate and, on the other hand, reducing stocks at the factory. This new challenge is very rewarding and motivating!I then managed the factory's logistics by implementing the tools developed during the Lean Project, then created Customer Service on the site. My main missions were to represent the customer within the factory, to guarantee a service rate above 90%, to reduce Supply Chain stocks and to ensure invoicing objectives. . In November 2017, I took charge of the Dunkirk site and was responsible for its Ebitda.I decided to leave the world of metallurgy after a second receivership by discovering the cement industry. I thus joined the Heidelberg Materials Group and the Calcia site in Beaucaire where I was able to learn the cement process and manage the Production department of this plant selling 750 kT of grey cement. I was responsible for quarry operations, clinker manufacturing and shipping. During these 5 years, we have developed the use of alternative fuels and developed the addition of ARM in raw meal in order to reduce our carbon footprint. I joined the Holcim group in May 2023 as Director Lafarge Ciments Plant manager Le Teil (grey and white cements plant)
