Ensure Production, Quality, Supply Chain, and Purchasing processes are integrated within the ERP. Support data migration, testing, and user training. Drive ERP adoption and use data to enhance operational visibility and decision-making. 6. Industrial Development & Production Growth Support the evolution of Beringer Aero USA into a mature, scalable manufacturing organization. Define industrial requirements for future production growth (equipment, facilities, workforce, suppliers). Collaborate with French Engineering and Industrial teams to transfer products and know-how to the US. Align industrial investments and organizational decisions with long-term company strategy.
