Introduction

Continuous improvement for industry in the Reims area?

The Reims area lives to the rhythm of the harvest and the festive season: champagne houses, their suppliers (glass, closures, labels, cartonboard) and food processors across the Marne face severe seasonal peaks. Continuous improvement has a clear mission there: to make production lines capable of absorbing peaks without heavy use of temporary staff or chronic overtime. A typical assignment: a house in Épernay sharply reduced format changeover times on its labelling lines, absorbing the year-end peak without an additional shift. We operate in Reims, Épernay, Châlons-en-Champagne and across the vineyards.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

Do you work with champagne houses or with their suppliers?+
Both: bottling, disgorging and labelling lines at houses and cooperatives; production at their suppliers (glass, closures, cartonboard, labels). Performance in this sector is decided across the whole chain.
How can seasonality be managed without heavy use of temporary staff?+
Three levers: SMED to absorb format variety, organised multi-skilling of teams, and TPM reliability work on the lines ahead of the peaks. One house in Épernay came through its year-end peak without an additional shift.
Do you cover Épernay and the vineyards?+
Yes: Reims, Épernay, Châlons-en-Champagne, Ay and the whole area. Assignments are organised in blocks of days, often scheduled in your off-peak windows to prepare for the season ahead.
What results have comparable packaging lines achieved?+
Measured references: significant gains on format changeover times, OEE and micro-stoppages. Every assignment is contracted against its own KPIs.
When is the right time to launch an initiative?+
Off-peak: workshops can be run calmly and teams are available for training. The gains are then operational for the following season. The first 30-minute discussion can take place at any time.
