Abstract

The project takes place in Consultis, a consulting firm that provides strategic and operational advice in organizational management. This SME has a growth strategy for the coming years, and therefore Consultis wishes to document its procedures in order to train its future new employees. The aim of the project is to create a methodological guide on process optimization. Optimizing means making improvements to the process in order to increase its effectiveness and efficiency. 

The methodology therefore describes the key steps for optimizing a process, and thus moving from the as is process to the to be process. There are four phases. First of all, the consultant starts by agreeing with the client on the processes to be optimized and the performance objectives to be achieved. Next, the process improvement team takes stock of the current situation and all the problems that impact the performance of the process. After analyzing the dysfunctions, it improves the process by acting on their causes and finally prepares an action plan in order to lead the change successfully. 

In order to build and continuously improve this methodological guide, the PDCA methodology « Plan Do Check & Act » has been followed. After framing the project, a literature review and a benchmarking were carried out in order to improve Consultis' practices and thus develop the new version of the methodology. This methodology was progressively evaluated on the basis of a proof of concept. Indeed, each step mentioned in the methodology was applied to the UEL mission. After having adapted and continuously improved it, the final methodology was finally described in a methodological guide. This also includes a description of all the activities that make up the phases, as well as an explanation of the relevant tools and techniques that enable consultants to carry out process optimization mission from start to finish. The roles of all stakeholders as well as the results expected at the end of each phase are also mentioned in this guide.

Abstract

En raison de la croissance importante du marché des produits électroniques, de l'augmentation des exigences clients, et de la complexification des solutions produits en réponse à ces exigences, les entreprises concevant et fabriquant des produits électroniques se doivent d'accorder de plus en plus d'importance à l'efficacité de leurs processus.

Ce mémoire s'intéresse au cas de la société Deltatec, et en particulier à son processus de mise en fabrication de cartes électroniques. Des problèmes subsistent dans les interactions entre l'engineering et le service achat, entre le début du design d'une carte électronique et sa mise en fabrication. Certains services sont débordés, les outils et les supports d'information utilisés dans l'entreprise sont parfois démodés ou inadaptés par rapport à l'évolution des filières de développement.

Une étude du processus dans son ensemble est nécessaire afin de déterminer les pistes à suivre. Faut-il revoir la définition de certains processus, la liste des flux, des tâches ou opérations, les responsabilités, les flux d'information ou leur support,...? Cette analyse se base sur les outils fournis par le BPM (Business Process Management) afin de trouver des pistes d'amélioration dans le but d'optimiser le processus.

Abstract

In this thesis, we perform an Audit of efficiency on the Process and Procedures related to Cleaning Services of the Regional Hospital of CITADELLE. 
The Cleaning Services process is of great importance in the functioning of the hospital because there are recommendations of the High Council of Health whose breach would involve sanctions against the hospital institute.
Our fieldwork enabled us to see that the Cleaning Service process is not formalized enough, there are no controls, no Key performance indicator. We notice also that the Internal services in charge of issuing purchase orders do not master their inventory management. 
In our recommendations; we proceed by modeling the process with the Business Process Modeling Notation. This involves developing procedures for key activities, implement Keys Performance Indicators, identification and management of Risks related to the process system. We end up by developing a management tool "Kanban", capable of streamlining the flow in the Cleaning Services Warehouse. We identify the tasks related to the implementation of this tool, followed by an analysis of Return On Investment of the Kanban project.

Abstract

Wikipower is a young and fast growing SME active in the energy industry and looking to extend its activities to other industries. The company stands as/acts as a facilitator/intermediary between the consumer and the service provider. Its core mission is to help the consumer to leverage its buying power by switching from one service provider to another cheaper service provider trough a price comparison tool.
The purpose of this work was to explore the Belgian telecom industry in order to validate the possibility to adapt the price comparison tool to this market. 
After carrying a detailed market research, we found out that the churn rate regarding the postpaid mobile telephony segment leads to a potential market of 1.062.287 switch per year. Furthermore, there are a lot of plans available to the consumer giving room for substantial economies regarding this market segment. 
Moreover, the contextual analysis conducted in this work highlighted the need to position the price comparison tool on a differentiation strategy. This differentiation finds its roots/settles in the value proposition that consist of giving various tools to the user in order to be helped and assisted in its switch. In addition, Wikipower strives to be customer-centered in order to develop its new price comparison tool for the telecom industry. We applied the value proposition elements and the customer-centered approach to the design of the website in a requirement specification document. 
This focus on the customer led/allowed us to define a multichannel digital marketing strategy. We reviewed several communication media in order to identify the channels that would be carried out in this marketing strategy. The selected channels aim to acquire and support the customer along its buying process and provide additional value. 
The different parts previously discussed allowed us to forecast the potential of the price comparison tool in order to plan the necessary resources and the results the company could expect from this new market.
In conclusion, this work provides Wikipower with an overview of the market and will be helpful to decide whether or not deploy its activities in the telecom industry.

Abstract

In our modern days, data collection and data analysis are keys to long term value creation for companies. This is especially true for the ESCO (or Energy Service Companies) due to the ongoing evolution of the meters and the ease of access to computing power.

The French government is developing smart meters and is actively trying to set them up everywhere around its country. Several major players are expected to play a role in the upcoming changes but some are still lacking the will to participate. Data management has never been more advanced on the energy market and thus, lots of opportunities are opening up for any ESCO.

This project-thesis aims to analyze the French energy market and develop a price comparison tool so that any citizens can compare the different offers from the suppliers. Moreover, some theoretical aspects of the consumer’s behavior will be highlighted as it detains some peculiarities that find its source in the history of the French energy market. This paper also produces a bill of specifications so that the company can launch its tool. An important part of the work will be about how to incorporate some value creation into the business process analysis by designing and trying to optimize those processes. And finally, the last part is a presentation of the business model with a discussion over its ethical issues and the responsibilities of the management.

On top of that, this project-thesis will try to create a conversation about how to collect data from energy consumers and how to analyze it. What would be the future opportunities that an ESCO could face in terms of data management and how it would apply to a price comparison tool?

Abstract

The implementation of an ERP is always a challenge. The goal of this project-thesis is to analyze the process of the company Euroquartz and in particular, those of the production department in order to perform a sequencing of the production. 
Euroquartz is an active organization in the production and the distribution of quartz, abrasives, rolled silica, etc.
The first part of this thesis covers the theoretical aspects of ERP and the “Process Approach”. Based on this theoretical framework, Euroquartz’s current ERP problems and the necessary functionalities of the future ERP are discussed in the second part of this project.
The third part of the project consists of an analysis of the different flows of the company according to the methodology of the “Process Approach”. Particular attention is focused on the sub-processes of the production so that a sequence of this one is proposed.
Finally, since the implementation of the previous ERP has been a failure, some recommendations are given to ensure the success of the Supply Chain improvement project.

Abstract

Through the today arrival of a lot of new disruptive technologies in the Defense sector, enterprises need to adapt their strategy, organization and information system in order to efficiently cope with the new challenges. Correlated with the 4.0 industry transition, the coming changes won’t miss to reach every dimension of those companies. One of the novelties that will extremely impact the business processes of companies is the additive manufacturing (AM) or 3D-printing. The exponential progresses that the 3D technologies have encountered since the last fifteen years induce new considerations about it in terms of production supports and concrete means of production. Of course, the metal additive manufacturing is the first one truly considered as mean of production in comparison with the plastic one. Still, both technological improvements let us rethink the way we manage digitalization, relocation, interconnectivity, client’s relations and, even, climate topics.
Considering all of this, the FN Herstal, the major actor of the light weapons’ market, has decided to start the transition by progressively implementing global changes into their businesses. The additive manufacturing has been introduced long time ago by the company into their activities. Today, two metal 3D-printing machines are helping managers to improve the “time to market” of products and more specifically the development cycles of new products.
As for other disruptive changes, internal resistances exist against AM and the continuously stricter client’s requirements let the only option to reinforce the potential virtuous circle of AM by transferring all the company’s energy into the topic in order to reach the related objectives.
The aim of this thesis refers to the creation of a new business process able to sustain the integration of a plastic 3D-printing machine in a relatively resisting environment against changes. This is translated by the management of seven dimensions of progress on which a polyphonic and transversal methodology has been performed. An “As is/to be” analysis explains how to define and anticipate the impacts of the plastic AM on the company. Then, tests and results have been conducted in order to challenge the expectations and adapt the other dimensions of progress in the best way. Finally, the long run vision of the technology is characterized thanks to the conclusions that show why and how the plastic (and metal) 3D-printing will be a good facilitator for the 4.0 industry transition and the maintain of the leader position of the FN Herstal on their markets.

Abstract

The Life Insurance Sector in Luxembourg is more complex than elsewhere in Europe. With different product offerings amongst countries, Luxembourg has grown to be a leading choice in terms of estate planning. Despite this, the regulations have become increasingly constraining pushing companies to find solutions to reduce their costs. As in every case of cost rationalisation, the option of outsourcing solutions has emerged.
For KPMG identifying the new tendencies of the industry and understanding how significant the impact of these will be on the market are two important aspects. This will enable them to gain insight on future developments and to anticipate the needs of their clients.
This study provides KPMG with an overview of both the supply and demand context. It also raises awareness on key points such as the valuation of unquoted assets, lack of automation, gap between supply and demand and other relevant financial aspects.
Through the project, it has become clear that BPO offers are available, but do not create enough added value for them to become a clear choice for Life Insurance companies. These businesses will actually continue to face the same problems and service providers will not be able to help them solve this. There is therefore a need for the offer to mature and evolve.
Based on this study, the next step for KPMG is clear. There is no possibility of developing a service offering, but there is instead a strong opportunity from an advisory standpoint. In fact, KPMG has a key role as an external actor to provide the right advice to the right entity. They must create and reflect upon new ways for companies to perform in the sector, in order to reduce manual processing and activities that slow down the asset management processes.

Abstract

"Les personnes, les entreprises et la planete sont-elles devenues ingerables? Est-ce que l'epuisement professionnel, le desengagement au travail, la corruption, les inegalites sociales et la degradation de la biosphere sont inevitables? L'objectif de cet ouvrage est d'insuffler un vent d'espoir en proposant des solutions concretes basees sur les valeurs cardinales du management responsable. Ce type de management integre, dans ses activites et ses outils, la triple contrainte sociale, economique et environnementale du developpement durable. Chaque chapitre s'articule autour d'une valeur qui est deployee sur les plans individuel, organisationnel et societal. Le management responsable n'est pas une methode que l'on peut appliquer en suivant une recette ; il implique de repenser nos habitudes et nos prejuges et de reflechir aux valeurs qui guident nos actions. Il interpelle les personnes qui sont prêtes à participer à la creation de milieux de travail plus harmonieux et de communautes humaines plus sereines sur une planete en sante. S'il est permis de croire que le management responsable represente dejà une aspiration, un ideal, pour bon nombre de personnes, cet ouvrage vise à leur donner des moyens d'incarner cet ideal au quotidien, à travers les pratiques de gestion responsables qui y sont presentees."--Resume de l'editeur.
