to improving the performance of their respective entities.
These rewards enhance the visibility and materialize the
industrial excellence initiative undertaken by the Group.
This process, known internally as LISIXSIGMA, integrates the
key components of the LISI Group’s continuous improvement
method, “LEAP”. It will be maintained in 2012. The objectives
sought will make it possible to multiply Group-wide projects
and encourage the sharing of industrial and administrative best
practice. All employees are encouraged to participate in these
activities. There again, new training sessions tailored for each
individual’s level will be initiated in 2012 and will affect the
entire organization.
The operational staff of the new Structural components armwill
progressively join this new Group initiative.
Safety at work: results improved
significantly
LISI AEROSPACE’s European plants managed in 2011 to divide by
two the number of work accidents with work stoppage, bringing
it down to 17 against 36 in 2010. The Rugby plant remains
at the forefront in this field: no accident took place there for
over three years. Thus the European TF0, which represents
the number of accidents with work stoppage involving a LISI
AEROSPACE employee per million hours worked, dropped
back to 5.50 in December, a level below that of 2010. The TF1,
which counts the number of accidents with and without work
stoppage on the same basis, meanwhile dropped to 12.9. The
North American plants have maintained or even improved their
excellent performance with a TF0 of 2.22 and a TF1 of 6.22.
Overall, the TF0 is below 4.0. The goal set – to bring the TF1
below 10 – was reached in December 2011 with a level of 9.7.
Record high utilization rate at Rugby
The Rugby site, which specializes in structural fastener systems, was
chosen to supply Airbus’ major programs. The site, located near Birming-
ham, in Britain, had to conduct a major ramp-up to ensure the deliveries
for the European aircraft manufacturer’s scheduled orders. Production
rates were gradually increased to their maximum level and the site is
now operating at its optimized pace, on a 7x7, 24x24 basis. This increased
production was accompanied by the upgrading of all of the site’s support
functions, in order to ensure a level of operational efficiency and maxi-
mum quality.
