LISI faces the limits of obsolete tools
LISI Aerospace, a leader in the aerospace sector, was facing a number of challenges linked to the management of its teams and their skills.
The use of Excel files, which had been in place for over 15 years, had become obsolete and unsuitable for managing team skills development, mobility between different sites, and tracking the critical authorizations required in the event of an audit.
Placing operators on workstations was also becoming increasingly complex, as was passing on expert know-how.
The company needed a more agile solution to improve organizational productivity, reduce errors and ensure compliance.
Why LISI called on Mercateam to digitalize the operational management of its teams
LISI's objective was to gain organizational productivity, optimize skills management, improve planning and guarantee responsiveness to audits and safety requirements.
The solution had to centralize information, automate training processes, eliminate errors, track skills in real time and ensure more agile team management.
Mercateam proved to be the ideal solution to meet these challenges, thanks to its advanced digitalization features, its ability to centralize data and to offer intuitive tools that simplify day-to-day management and enhance team skills.
