Agility and Rigor
Because of Saltel Industries’ continuous growth, the need for a very structured organization increases constantly. To assist and support this growth, the operating system of Saltel is built on strong and formalized processes populated with trained people.
Concurrently, Saltel Industries is strongly involved in the innovation and service required by our clients, including creativity, reactivity, and adaptability. In one word: Agility.
The processes must guarantee and sustain the global efficiency of the products and services delivered.
At
the same time, people must have the necessary freedom and autonomy to
maintain the capacity to offer rapid, specific and creative response to
our clients.
That’s what we call Agility and Rigor.
First,
agility and rigor cannot exist without the involvement of all employees
demonstrating Saltel company core values. Additionally, this shared
view of how processes operate must be sustained by a set of IT tools
giving:
- A robust but flexible reference data organization
- A common, unique but adaptive way to realize each task
- A secured but global sharing space of the company knowledge
- An automated-but-foolproof tracking and tracing system
- A reactive-but-reliable reporting and data consolidation system
The diagram below shows the main IT tools involved in information management:
- CAD and FEA software allows us to design and simulate calculation on our products. Coupled to an electronic data chest, it also serves as the items’ reference repository.
