Projects within 3 divisions:
- Contracting (2 sites)
- Architectural
- Glass Processing and Distribution (3 sites: Midlands)

Objectives:
Management of the WCM teams, planning and follow up of the projects, WCM training.

2011 results:
- Glass Processing and Distribution:
Overall Equipment Effectiveness deployment, Internal & External Quality analysis i.e. scratched & marked glass reduction, Total Productive Maintenance deployment i.e. autonomous management, 21 5s projects, Standardisation and Visual Management, Group purchasing for spacer bars, Performance Control System deployment i.e. review of accountabilities & responsibilities of all levels of staff.
- Contracting and Architectural:
Visual Stream Mapping deployment, Standardisation of the processes, 3 5s projects.

I was the WCM engineer in Saint-Gobain Abrasives in UK. I was working in 3 factories: Staverton (superabrasives), Stafford (Bonded) and Burgess Hill (core drill+blades) + Supply Chain

Regarding the key performance indicators of each factory, my work is based on Quality, Cost and Delivery. So, to do to that, I'm using all the World class manufacturing tools (5s, visual stream mapping, workplace organisation, 8 wastes, ...) to reducing the lead time, increase the On-Time-In-Full and the quality.

few results:
o -25% stocks of raw matrials in one department
o 35% cost reduction for one range of products
o +30% production outputs in one department
o workplace improvement
o Stock reduction
o 5S projects
