• Internal: Tender: Bid Technical manager
• Engineering: Design Engineer
• Industrialization: Industrialization Engineer / Method engineer / PIM
• Quality: Industrial Quality / SPQD/ SQA
• Supply Chain: Logistics Engineer
• Sourcing: Buyer / Sub-contractors
• EHS team
• Central (HQ): Special process experts network and Central Coordinator;

• External: Local suppliers;
  Standards committee (unless responsibility is exclusively devoted to the central coordinator)

Activities by step of the industrial process:

• Tender:
  • Contribute to tender phase, especially in product design and industrialization to take into account industrial constraints and requirements to optimize costs and minimize risks when needed.
• Concurrent Engineering:
  • Contributes during specification and design phases to technical solution decisions associated to special processes.
  • Build the SP REX and interact with product engineering to redirect the design if necessary.
• Industrialization:
  • Manage industrial risk through Process FMEA and associated improvement action plan;
    foster generic FMEA forstandard manufacturing process (e.G., electronics products).
  • Define requirements and rules (Design For Manufacturing) for associated tooling necessary to start production.
  • Qualify the product/process pair and the industrial means to be put in place in line with the design.
  • Support sourcing and SQD teams in the suppliers’ qualification and in quality follow-up for suppliers concerned by SP. Contribute to development of suppliers.
  • Manage evolution of quality control process dedicated to SP.
  • Ensure deployment and validation of new processes in line with product/project planning.
  • Issue relevant documents in the Quality System.
  • Manages technicians that are eventually under his/her responsibility.
  • Support Transfer of Technology on SP: documentation, process and means validation, training.
  • Complies with EHS Alstom and external standards.
• Transmission:
  • Train the workers and EPU managers to execute SP.
  • Ensure continuous training and permanent qualification of the workers to SP.
  • Train support functions to business rules linked to SP (Engineering, PME, Sourcing, Supply Chain, Quality).
  • Develop SP expert/specialist on new geographic area through Alstom SP qualification plan.
• Execution / Serial manufacturing:
  • Guarantees internal control and good application of process rules in line with customers’ requirements.
  • Performs internal and external audits.
  • Ensure day‑to‑day monitoring of SP business rules and solve issues concerning SP.
  • In case of non‑conformity or incident, investigate root causes, find and implement repair solutions.
  • Demonstrate QCD and EHS improvement linked to SP through efficient action plans. Measure performance linked with site industrial objectives and through APSYS audit for instance.
  • Support Sourcing and Supplier Quality teams during quality crisis.
• Transverse:
  • Participate to meetings and working groups of the SP network.
  • Propose improvement ideas and evolution of the business rules of their domain.

• In case of major SP quality crisis (major technical risk, safety or financial), the expert must provide to the project manager, factually, a clear problem analysis (root causes, associated risks) and the options to exit the crisis, to enable him taking a serene position.
• He/She has the duty to control his/her external communication (written and oral) as it engages the responsibility of AT towards third parties.

• Manufacturing and Quality documents are available in due time and to the good quality level.
• Qualification reports of operating modes are issued in line with the schedule.
• Zero non‑conformity during internal or external audits.
• Level of deployment of SP standards rules.
• Contribution to site industrial QCD targets.
• Reactivity and consistency during expertise during defect or incident.
• FAR/FAI/ FMR/SMR validated for all installations involving SP and flagged as technical or industrial risk.

• Engineering degree in process engineering, electronics, electrical, mechanical or chemical (mandatory).
• Training and Qualification by a third party for SP if needed (e.G. welding) – desirable.

• 2 to 5 years’ experience in industrial method.
• Practice the concerned special process from 2 to 5 years (execution, definition, qualification).
• Knowledgeable of main SAP T-Codes for Industrial management.

• Autonomous, rigorous, good communication.
• Good teaching skills (able to provide training to a group of trainees).
• Innovative, participative in business workgroups.
