Development and integration of satellite payloads
We supported our client to launch a major program to transform its production line, organized around 3 clean rooms spread over 2 countries.
01
Problematic
How to cope with a 30% increase in demand, while controlling risks? How can we be more competitive with a time to market reduced by 20% while controlling costs to gain 10 points of profitability? How to prepare for market changes, with the arrival of micro and nano-satellite constellations?
02
“Our mission: 18 months to reinvent our plant, while maintaining our DNA of technological excellence.”
Process
After a diagnostic phase, a collective work made it possible to identify solutions, quantify them, prioritize them and then structure the approach in order to implement them. The project lasted 18 months and mobilized a core-team project of 15 people. The Agile method was used to implement the tools, regularly involving management in key decisions. This has made it possible to improve responsiveness.
We took part in all of this transformation, from the scoping and construction phase of the project, to implementation, with change management with the teams.
