Introduction

Operational excellence for in Haute-Savoie?

Haute-Savoie exports: precision turning from the Arve valley to the global automotive and medical industries, mechatronics around Annecy, pharmaceuticals, outdoor equipment. These sectors live under audits from demanding customers — PPM, process capability, lead times. Operational excellence there is a matter of commercial survival as much as margin. A typical assignment: a precision turning company in the Arve valley sharply reduced its PPM and significantly improved the OEE of its critical lathes — through TPM, SPC and daily quality routines. We operate in Annecy, Cluses, Annemasse, Rumilly and throughout the valley.
