Business Improvement Initiative

The creation of Aircelle in early 2001 resulted in a strong and capable industrial base with considerable know-how in design, development and production.

With this strength, we have developed a solid foundation to ensure that Aircelle continues as an industry leader and innovator - no matter how challenging the economic and market conditions. Our goal is to further reinforce our capabilities to react by pursuing a program of business improvements in the framework of Action V - a global effort initiated by our parent company, SAFRAN.

Considering the importance of the issues at stake, the Improvement Plan and Total Quality Department was created with Didier Vigneron as VP of Total Quality and Continuous Improvement.

A series of actions have been put in place to improve the overall performance of Aircelle:

 Short- and long-term projects dedicated to deriving the benefits of synergies within the new Aircelle group (exchange of best practices, harmonization of information technology and telecom systems, rationalization of investments, etc. )
 Internal actions within each of the company’s divisions to improve their performance (industrial restructuring, cost reduction, etc.)
 Steps to favor creativity and the direct involvement of all in the constant search for progress.
 Applying initiatives of the SAFRAN group to Aircelle’s daily activities (e-business, environment, purchasing)

The Action V program was tailored to Aircelle’s specific needs, taking into account the company’s industrial integration and the consolidation of its activities.

It is an indispensable tool to realize the company’s objectives and to put into play all of the means that enable Aircelle to work at the levels of quality and reliability that its customers expect - while also maintaining the right economic performance for today’s economic environment.

Action V - A Symbol
