By ThierrySupply Chain, Industrial Maturity, Operation Efficiency, Project Management

Few years ago, advalUP was mandated by French organism “Institute of Aerospace and Space” (IAS) now Aerospace valley under French Aeronautic and Space Industries Association (GIFAS) to train Japanese Companies in Tokyo. I was responsible to completely create this training support with more 300 slides. The main objective of this training was to prepare Japanese Industries “Prepare yourself to be part of the Aerospace supply chain” and consequently develop their oversea businesses. The duration of this activities was done during three days with ten companies in Tokyo under GIFAS partnership.
