1. Stellantis CDPO High Voltage Project (New Launch)

• Schedule project development activities to meet customer and APTIV requirements
• Enhance plant milestones for high programs diversity (8 cars, BEV/PHEV motorization)
• Prepare, validate and manage project investment (15m $)
• Control project spending plan to ensure financial targets (CAPEX/OPEX) in term of amount and timing
• Lead preplanning activities with plant multidisciplinary team ensuring coordination with central method lab function
• Design plant layout evolution per project phase
• Conduct product design assessment and lead design change proposals to optimize labor efficiency
• Cascade the objectives defined at Operational and Functional level to the "Preplanning" team and define the work plan accordingly
• Design high voltage manufacturing process flow ensuring efficiency, investment and space compliance
• Ensure a good connection between the design changes during the project development phases and the adjustment / improvement of the production process in order to guarantee consistency between the product change and the production process.
• Develop and update the resource mobilization strategy within the “Preplanning” division.
• Validate the concepts defined at flow 3 level during the rating of new projects
• Ensure regular monitoring of the PFMEA planning and action plan.
• Ensure the application of the various procedures relating to Preplanning (Global, European and local).

2. VOLVO SPA project (XC60/XC90)

• Lead Model Year changes integration from prototype phases into serial life achieving declared performance
• Contribute to the analysis of Engineering Changes, by defining their impact on the mounting method and the capacity of the equipment in production on the assembly area
• Supervise and validate data collection and analysis to identify and quantify investment and productivity optimization opportunities.
• Pilot and propose suitable and realistic solutions for the definition of systems by the design of production flows and methods.
• Identify and participate in standardization of engineering best practices
• Supervise continuous improvement projects and participate in Lean 2.0 implementation
• Ensure flawless SOP and RUC compliance
• Onboard new employees with training plan according to competency matrix .

Lead new projects development since drawings reception until serial phase : TESLA/ STELLANTIS (low and high voltage projects).

• Schedule preplanning activities according to customer calendar.
• Provide project readiness by development phases (prototypes; off tool; off process)
• Manage multidisciplinary team of engineering, production,quality, maintenance and logistic personnel.
• Conduct time study using work measurement tools to validate accuracy of labor standard time.
• Prepare and organized data for use in key decision-making (decision matrix).
• Define product assembly method and flow.
• Design the manufacturing area layout plans to enhance workplace efficiency and space optimization.
• Elaborate and manage project investment in different phases.
• Generated detailed reports covering analysis of key data and outlining potential solutions.
• Participate in the creation and update of procedures for bill of process best practices.

Improvement of facilities management process on CasaNearshore site :
