Your challenges
Reducing your costs and development lead times while ensuring your ramp-up in production are major challenges to achieving your objectives. This may require adapting products and processes, as well as the governance, processes, and methods of your engineering organizations, methods, and programs to optimize efficiency.
Adapting tools to accelerate business and decision-making processes is also a major challenge and a driver of increased profitability.

Our solutions
Focusing on product and organizational efficiency, and their process, we deploy our services in alignment with SOGECLAIR's expertise to optimize products and processes, enhance the performance of engineering organizations, project and program management, as well as configuration management.
Joint optimization of products and processes
Adapting both a product and its production processes is a key focus area to meet objectives such as cost reduction, cycle time improvement, or performance enhancement.
In our efforts to enhance overall performance and profitability, we adopt a comprehensive method ranging from benchmarking, functional analysis, cost modeling, to redesign, and reindustrialization following a multi-criteria approach and decision-making (such as mass, costs, operational performance, production cycle, MTBF, etc.).
We ensure to tailor our approach according to the specific needs of each project, thereby guaranteeing an optimal level of performance aligned with the company's objectives.
Engineering organizations performance
As primary value drivers for high-tech products, engineering organizations hold a significant potential for improving their processes, methods, and tools that impact the entire lifecycle of products and services.
In this regard, we specialize in enhancing the performance and robustness of their processes, particularly in technical-economic management, lean engineering deployment, extended enterprise management, as well as functional interface management and co-development. We also conduct cost optimizations specific to engineering activities with a holistic approach, including challenges of requirements, costing practices, adaptation of the make-or-buy strategy, and process rationalization.
Project and program management
Central to achieving technical and economic objectives, project and program management is a major focus area for any company aiming to ensure the triad of time, cost, and quality for its product lines.
Whether working on the structuring phase, optimization of execution, or recovery, we strive to tailor our support to the key objectives of each organization, particularly for projects involving accelerated development, time-to-market, ramp-up, governance rationalization, or methodological improvement. Supported by internal development teams, we also work on creating or adapting management and performance tracking tools.
Configuration management
As a recognized core competency of SOGECLAIR, we leverage our expertise in configuration management to specify, deploy, and adapt processes for managing the configuration of complex products.
Our approach aims to deploy solutions that meet precise needs while aligning with regulatory constraints and integrator requirements.
Minimizing the impact on related processes and adapting associated costs represents a major optimization focus while ensuring change management, traceability, and product certification. We also support companies in specifying their tool requirements, drafting specifications, selecting technical solutions, and providing deployment support.
