About me

To my friend André, from up there,

"Thank you for the path and the inspiration"

Born under the sign of Aries, I always had a strong taste for challenges and discoveries but also, the desire to make things move and bring them to go further.

Taking systems and people from state A to state Z, and make them evolve, isn’t it the true pleasure of project management?

That's why, once my Ph.D in pocket, I quickly immersed myself in the industry "cauldron". One-third of my career, to teach professionals and the other two-thirds, to practice my sense of observation and my ability to think outside the box, on the floor of industry workshops.

All in all, more than 20 years of practical experience in the world of surface treatments. A world so fascinating and complex, but yet so little known and valued, that knowledges could only be transmitted from professionals to others.

AnGe4ST Consult, acronym for "Any ChallenGe for Surface Treatment", was born from these observations and from the desire to share my experience.

My goal for the future, is to help you to meet your challenges.

Surface treatments are present on the majority of metal parts that we use every day.

The sectors concerned are: Steel industry, aeronautical, automobile and naval construction, armaments, metal manufacturing and construction companies, consumer goods (household appliances, kitchen utensils, etc.)

Every year, a surface treatment workshop must bear a percentage of non-conformities in its production costs. This represents a cost of several tens, even hundreds of thousands of euros in reconditioning failed parts!!!

❎ How can we stop this “bleeding”?
The "firefighter" method works in the short term, but it doesn't allow you to anticipate subsequent problems. Sometimes, the correction made is even a step closer to a degraded mode, which will gradually become the new normal.

Unlike the "firefighter" method, the AnGe4ST Consult intervention method is designed to achieve long-term results.
- The first step is to make a correct diagnosis . This requires a "bird's eye" view and the method to do it correctly...
- The second is to propose the appropriate remedy . This does not necessarily involve draining the bath or replacing equipment...
- The third is to lock practices . In order to prevent the system from returning to its initial state (#entropy)...

❎ Can the method be used when developing a workshop project?
Of course, the earlier the intervention is constructed in the project, the more effective it will be, particularly in terms of equipment design and process optimization.
As in medicine, prevention greatly reduces the risk of developing serious technical problems, which generate unwanted costs and are sometimes difficult to resolve afterwards.

❎ Yes, but is a consultant expensive?
Much less than failed productions and customer complaints and it can even pay off in the long run
