I don't stay behind an Excel screen. I go down to the production floor, I talk to your teams, I understand your flows before proposing anything. That's how you find the real levers.

My philosophy
Most consultants show up with their ready-made methodology. I show up with my safety boots.
Field first
I spend time on the production floor before opening an Excel file. Real problems don't show up in a pivot table.
Data-driven
Every recommendation is quantified and measurable. No gut feeling, no “we should probably”. Facts and figures.
Concrete results
No PowerPoint slides. Savings in your bank account. Processes that hold up after I leave.
My 4-step method
From the field to transformation
Every engagement follows the same structure. What changes is the context. And that's precisely why I always start with immersion.
Field Immersion
1-2 weeks
I go down to the production floor, I meet your teams, I understand your flows. I don't touch anything until I've seen how things actually work.
Diagnosis & Data
1-2 weeks
Spend analysis, supplier mapping, quick win identification. I cross-reference ERP data with what I observed on the ground.
Action Plan
1 week
Prioritized roadmap, estimated ROI per action, validation with management. Every action is concrete, assigned and scheduled.
Deployment & Steering
Ongoing
Implementation with your teams, KPI tracking, field adjustments. I stay until the gains are visible and the routines are in place.

- ✓Controlled supplier panel, negotiation leverage
- ✓Anticipation of needs, zero surprises
A true story
The red and black gasket story
At an industrial client, the procurement team was ordering two gasket references — one red and one black — from two different suppliers, at very different prices.
By going down to the production floor, I discovered that the operators used both interchangeably. Same dimensions, same material, same use. The only difference? The color.
Result: rationalization to a single reference, a single supplier, and immediate savings. This kind of discovery doesn't happen from behind a screen.
That's why I always start on the ground.
