Under Didier's Guidance in our first value stream, we improved productivity by approximately 50%, reduced floor space by 75%, and decreased throughput time by 90%. His collaborative and tailored approach not only delivered measurable results but also empowered our team to sustain and build upon these improvements. We also implemented a daily engagement system and developed standard work for operators and frontline leadership.

Didier's expertise, professionalism, and ability to coach leaders and teams have had a lasting impact on our organization. I highly recommend him to any organization seeking meaningful and sustainable change.
