Message from the President
O
ur association has continued to grow
strongly in the first half-year. We now have
over 100 members mainly in three countries:
France, Germany and Spain. In these three
countries we run individual projects, and this
year will reach our target of 20 projects. At the
same time, under the supervision of GIFAS,
we began an ambitious collective project earlier this year,
"Performances Industrielles", involving 470 French companies
(70 medium to large companies and 400 SME/VSE).
We also continue to deploy our training offer in our three
reference countries as well as Morocco and Tunisia.
At our last Annual General Meeting, we presented four awards
(for individual projects) that perfectly illustrate the dynamic
progress of our associate members who we support with our
action.
In the second half-year we will continue our deployment in our
three areas: individual projects, group projects and training.

Bricks of Industrial Maturity: a tool to drive improvement
A Bricks of Industrial Maturity tool is used in the "Performances
Industrielles" project to measure and improve the maturity and per-
formance of the SME.
There are 43 bricks in 4 functional areas (MRP2, LEAN, QUALITY, AND
SUPPLIER MANAGEMENT). The bricks are classified according to 4
levels of maturity : FOUNDATION, BASIC , MATURE and EXCELLENCE. The effective presence of the ways of working described by the
bricks is reviewed by the Consultant with the SME during a diagnostic.
This analysis is used to define an action plan, the principle objective
being to implement at least the FOUNDATION levels bricks in all four
functional areas of the SME.
The consultant and the SME agree ACTUAL and TO BE values, not
only for each brick, but also for on-time and quality indicators, and an
action plan and a training schedule are defined to deliver these targets. These elements are documented in the form of an Industrial Maturity and Performance Improvement Plan (PAMPI) which is signed by
the SME, the Consultant, and SPACE.
One key issue is for the SME
uilding Excellence
to engage enough resource to
support the action plan : a first
