Un projet d’intégration MES est avant tout un projet business. Il vise à rendre les processus de fabrication des médicaments plus fluides, plus fiables et plus efficaces, notamment en intégrant de nouveaux outils digitaux. L’objectif final est d’améliorer la productivité sur le terrain. En tant que chef de projet MES, mon rôle consiste à superviser et coordonner les équipes tout en tenant compte de la dimension technologique du projet. J’assure l’alignement de l’ensemble des parties prenantes autour d’un même objectif. Cela implique un important travail de vulgarisation : expliquer simplement les contraintes, les enjeux et les attentes de chacun. Au final, je joue un rôle de passerelle entre les équipes métiers et les équipes digitales, afin de garantir un déploiement fluide et cohérent des solutions MES.

My role is to create standard blocks in accordance with given specifications. For example, a customer wants to standardize its entire production across all its sites. To do this, technical specifications are provided. They contain the information necessary to carry out this project. Each block contains a production step. The blocks I create are reused to facilitate the configuration of several parts of production. Once the design of all the steps in the block has been completed, I create production recipes using what has been done previously.

My role is to contribute my experience to the projects I am involved in. For example, a client's objective is to implement an MES throughout the production area of a new building. The goal is to automate the interfacing. To do this, I provide guidance on the technical aspects of the software. I then assess the validation, configuration, and design stages. Next, I present my expertise to the client. In the event of an audit, I must be able to justify each step.

I started with a three-month internship during my first year of master's studies. This internship allowed me to discover MES, partly through training exercises. I then continued with a one-year work-study program during my second year of master's studies. During this work-study program, I was able to continue my training in MES, develop my skills, and join a project in the pharmaceutical industry. Then, I was hired on a permanent contract at Pyxis, so I was able to continue the project I had been involved in during my work-study program. The internship/work-study program allows you to build a network in a specific field and to already be integrated into the company, which greatly facilitates the establishment of a permanent contract afterwards.
