Sébastien Richard

• As industrial designer, I was lead R&D mechanical development on my projects. From scope evaluation, multidisciplinary team communication, shareholders management, using iterative 3D gate development methods [Agile like] (from mechanical feasibility to prototype to beta testing and final blueprint release), including a beta supply chain proposition to the customer. Development considered risk factors evaluation and mitigation fail safe protocols to production, functional and aesthetic functions. The main devlopment softwares in use were SolidWorks, Keyshot and Adobe Suite.

Project Manager for our customers in need of new proprietary production logistics and ramp up of production, my responsibilities included: project scope identification, shareholders benefits management, risk management, feasibility evaluation, quotes building, scenario gathering, team building, knowledge management, project planning (including mitigation scenarios, shareholders management and budget planning), realization (including follow-up, samplings, Q/C standardization, troubleshooting and control) and closing (including feedback, knowledge transfer management and power transition).

As Q/C Coordinator, my responsibilities were focused on insuring that every aspect of the project cycle was properly identified, protected, meaningful, planned and orderly managed with the proper tools of control. The implementation of the whole process requires a lot of change management, shareholders expectations management, creativity of various scenarios implementations, and budget negotiations.
