Expert in LEAN Manufacturing, productivity and traceability

His LEAN tools and methods are very practical, visual and easy to apply. They are particularly suited to a time-share set up and to addressing difficult and urgent situations.

He has pushed the diagnostic and innovation method away from the offer stage, as his reliable results enable him to be able to offer a package whereby he is paid according to the profit made from the conclusions drawn from the diagnostic. He makes use of his experience to follow business models and to visualise additional services that could be linked to the product.

William studied as an engineer in Lyon and has a degree in strategic management.
For the 15 years before 2002, he was employed in management and in the creation and turnaround of industrial sites in France and abroad (Japan, Spain, Belgium, Germany).
This was within several production and service industries (MOORE PARAGON, SIEMENS) as well as technological companies (GEMPLUS, HEWLETT-PACKARD) in operational posts linked to production and industry. He worked as a production director, held managerial positions in engineering and several posts linked to choosing and installing production management systems, MES and project management.

He can guarantee to work within the cost objectives of the projects he undertakes through his ability to model a financially sound industrial environment, his sharp technical vision of manufacturing industry processes, and his aptitude of managing in areas including change, economics and management itself.

In 2002, with two friends and colleagues, he created his business PRODUCTIVIX, based upon his expertise, experiences, and work methods and his passion for performance.

He has experience in collective JIT (Just In Time) programs with "ALFA" (EDI) and "E-Rhone-Alpes". In his role as Consular Delegate in the Industry Commission, he is involved in the selection rounds of Lyon’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry for performance of small and medium sized businesses.

He has been registered on the list of Legal Experts since 2007 with the Court of Appeal in Lyon for Industrial Manufacturing.
