Vincee Mécanique – Pont-Saint-Martin

At Vincée Mécanique, I machine plastic injection moulds for demanding sectors. Working from the drawings, I set up the CNC machines, select the cutting tools and carry out 3D programming of the machining operations with MasterCam software. I carry out the dimensional inspection of the parts in order to meet the tolerances and the quality expected by customers.

Results

• Precision machining of plastic injection moulds ;

• 3D programming of parts with MasterCam ;

• Setting up CNC machines ;

• Meeting tolerances and customer quality.

Experience in assembling wing centre sections for the A320, A330 and A350 programmes. Tasks carried out: making up the panels, semi-automated assembly on the machine, finishing the panels and demoulding. I was also responsible for replacing workstations on the casing production lines, from the start of the lines to delivery (from Nantes to St Nazaire), as well as managing the logistics of components requiring no modification for all programmes.

Results

• Working in teams;

As a continuous improvement technician, I played a role in participating in LEAN meetings and improving machines and the workshop using LEAN methods such as SMED (Single Minute Exchange of Die), TPM (Total Productive Maintenance) and 5S (Seiri/Sort, Seiton/Straighten, Seiso/Shine, Seiketsu/Standardize, Shitsuke/Sustain). I was also responsible for managing and coaching LEAN actions throughout the workshop. I planned and implemented an improvement room serving as an execution centre for the aluminium profile manufacturing workshops. Thanks to these actions, we were able to significantly improve production quality, reduce downtime and increase the workshop's productivity. In addition, I was in charge of monitoring key performance indicators, as well as training and developing the production teams.

Results

• Team management ;

• Discovering improvement methods ;

• Project management.

As a manufacturing agent for aluminium, aluminium-lithium and titanium parts, I worked on the production of small sections, maximum 150 mm squared in lengths of up to 10 m.
