The need to standardize production processes
Exxelia, a specialist in electronic components for demanding sectors such as aeronautics, space and medical, was facing a number of strategic challenges. With 12 factories around the world, the group needed to homogenize its production processes, which had diversified with each acquisition.
- Product complexity Exxelia's products, such as capacitors and magnetic components, require advanced industrial know-how, often undocumented or scattered over a variety of media (paper, Word files, Excel).
- Regulatory compliance ISO9001, ISI9100 and AS9100 certifications require rigorous monitoring of skills and authorizations, but audits were time-consuming and dependent on Excel.
- Passing on know-how the sustainability of critical skills was threatened by retirements and a lack of standardization in training processes.
- Anticipating needs Exxelia needed a clear vision to anticipate the loss of skills and plan the training needed to maintain operational continuity.
