L'objectif n'est pas uniquement d'appliquer des outils Lean, mais de faire évoluer durablement les pratiques tout en préservant le niveau d'exigence associé à une production textile haut de gamme. Qualité, sécurité & procédés Dans un environnement destiné notamment aux marchés du luxe, la qualité du produit fini et la reproductibilité des résultats occupent une place centrale. Vous veillez notamment : au respect des standards qualité, sécurité et environnement ; au respect des procédures et paramètres de production ; à la régularité et à la reproductibilité des fabrications ; à l'analyse des non-conformités et à la mise en œuvre des actions correctives ; à l'amélioration et à la fiabilisation des procédés de finition. PROFIL CANDIDAT RECHERCHÉ Nous recherchons avant tout un(e) manager industriel de terrain ayant démontré sa capacité à piloter et améliorer la performance d'un atelier de production. Vous disposez d'une expérience réussie en management d'équipe dans un environnement industriel de production ou de process, idéalement avec une responsabilité directe d'une équipe d'une taille comparable. Vous pouvez démontrer : Une réelle capacité à manager et fédérer des équipes opérationnelles. Une expérience concrète du Lean Manufacturing, 5S, Kanban et management visuel. Des réalisations mesurables en matière de productivité, optimisation des flux, qualité ou organisation. Une capacité à identifier les causes des dysfonctionnements et à mettre en œuvre des solutions pragmatiques. Une forte culture qualité, particulièrement importante dans un environnement haut de gamme. Une capacité à travailler transversalement avec les différentes fonctions d'un site industriel. BACKGROUND INDUSTRIEL Une expérience dans le textile, la finition textile, le textile haut de gamme ou les environnements de production de traitement de la matière constituera un avantage significatif. Une connaissance de la chimie et des procédés chimiques appliqués au textile sera également un plus afin de comprendre les interactions entre produits, paramètres process, équipements et résultat final. Nous restons néanmoins ouverts à des managers provenant d'autres industries de process exigeantes : chimie, coatings, traitement de surface, papier, matériaux ou autres activités de transformation industrielle. La connaissance textile/chimie est un plus ; la capacité démontrée à manager, structurer et améliorer la performance tout en maintenant un très haut niveau d'exigence qualité sera déterminante. VOTRE STYLE DE MANAGEMENT Nous recherchons une personnalité : proche du terrain et des équipes ; structurée et pragmatique ; exigeante sur la qualité et le niveau de finition ; capable de définir clairement les priorités ; orientée performance sans perdre de vue les exigences du produit ; capable d'accompagner le changement et de faire adhérer les équipes ; curieuse techniquement et capable de comprendre les procédés ; à l'aise dans un environnement industriel exigeant en matière de qualité, précision et régularité. CE QUI FERA LA DIFFÉRENCE Nous ne recherchons pas uniquement un responsable capable de faire tourner un atelier. Nous recherchons un manager capable d'expliquer concrètement : Qu'avez-vous amélioré dans les ateliers que vous avez dirigés ? Comment avez-vous utilisé le Lean, le 5S, le Kanban ou d'autres méthodes d'amélioration continue ? Quels résultats mesurables avez-vous obtenus avec vos équipes ? Comment avez-vous concilié amélioration de la productivité et maintien d'un haut niveau d'exigence qualité ? Dans cet environnement textile haut de gamme, performance industrielle et excellence produit doivent avancer ensemble.
