The national hub for our Lean assignments: the Grand Est as our immediate neighbour, with regular assignments in Hauts-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. A cross-border, independent firm that puts its results into the contract.
Faced with energy costs and international competition, French industry is seeking rapid competitiveness gains without heavy capital expenditure — exactly where Lean belongs. SXE Consulting works across the whole country from its cross-border base, with four preferred regions: the Grand Est (our immediate neighbourhood), Hauts-de-France, Auvergne-Rhône-Alpes and Bourgogne-Franche-Comté. A typical assignment: a mechanical equipment manufacturer in Hauts-de-France substantially reduced its work in progress and significantly shortened its lead times through pull-flow workshops. Every assignment is contracted on KPIs measured monthly.
Each priority region and city has its own dedicated page with its industrial areas, sectors and references — Metz, Grand Est, and soon Lyon, Lille and Besançon.
