Renaud GIMENEZ

• Study of mechanical behavior of steels at semi-solid state • Reflection on the integration of manufacturing process in the product design process • Set up of design rules adapted to the manufacturing process and promoting innovation • Design of a reference test experiment

• Lessons in French : Beam theory, preliminary design, field work in forging • Lessons in English, in the framework of a partnership between Arts et Métiers ParisTech and GeargiaTech Lorraine (First international campus of GeorgiaTech Atlanta): Selection and set up of bearings, static failure of beam

• Improvement of manufacturing process of watch parts: Results : - Decrease of rate of removal by 15% - Decrease of steps from 12 to 4 • Study and optimization of a system measuring the straightness of long products

• Set up of a innovation strategy • technology watch - patents analysis o Set up of a database of more than 4000 patents o Competitive analysis and trends analysis

• Propositions of several concepts of "active packaging" answering to the company needs o Design and manufacture of functional prototypes • Theoretical study of the physico-chemical interactions between the formula and the container • Study of regulations

• Design of innovative products in a multidisciplinary team • Design of a innovative brand image • Design and manufacture of a demonstration prototype

The majors are innovation management, design process of innovative products, involvement of designer and ergonomists in the design process.
