France's leading cross-border industrial region: steelmaking in the Moselle, chemicals and pharmaceuticals in Alsace, food processing in Champagne, automotive in the Ardennes. SXE Consulting deploys Lean across the entire region from its base on the doorstep of Lorraine.
The Grand Est brings together industries with very different profiles — continuous process in the Moselle, chemicals and pharmaceuticals in the Bas-Rhin, food processing in the Marne, automotive and mechanical engineering in the Ardennes and the Vosges. Lean is applied differently in each area: SMED and TPM for heavy process industries, pull flows and 5S for assembly, Lean Six Sigma for pharmaceuticals. An example of a regional assignment: a food-processing SME in the Champagne area substantially reduced its changeover times, absorbing its seasonal peaks without additional temporary staff. We adapt the tool to the field — never the other way round.
Steelmaking in the Moselle, chemicals in Alsace, champagne and food processing in the Marne: tools are chosen to suit your process, not lifted from a textbook.
