Audience
Workshops, teams, manufactures
Interventions designed for established structures, teams to strengthen or a workshop to structure.
Companies · manufactures · workshops · on site or in Les Brenets
Stabilise a team’s gestures on your components and criteria.
Workshop work built from your components, recurring deviations and the result your control process needs to accept.
Alexandra Schmitz works with manufactures, workshops and professionals when recurring deviations need to be named, corrected and shared more clearly.
Each intervention starts from concrete defects and deviations: uneven width, soft edge, broken reflection, unstable trajectory, poorly blended rework, or a workstation that needs structure.
The work can be carried out on site or in Les Brenets, on your parts if needed, with your control criteria and expected result.
Confidentiality: exchanges, components, internal criteria, production constraints and finishing objectives are clarified before any proposal.
Setting
On site or in Les Brenets
The place is chosen according to the gestures to rework, production constraints and the type of work to be carried out.
Working basis
Your parts, your criteria
The work can be based on your parts, your fixtures and your reading criteria.
Aim
More consistent gestures
Make the reading more shared, manage rework more clearly, stabilise quality more effectively.
When to call on Alexandra
When this kind of intervention becomes useful.
It answers concrete workshop situations: gestures that vary from one person to another, a skill to pass on, a bench to structure, recurring gaps to name or shared reading criteria to install.
01
Strengthen an existing team
Observe the gestures, revisit the useful fundamentals, correct the visible deviations and help the team gain consistency.
02
Share the same reading criteria
Clarify what is acceptable, what must be reworked, and how to read quality more consistently.
03
Create or consolidate a workshop method
Set up a workstation, a method, an expected result and a correction logic able to hold over time.
Two intervention formats
Two formats depending on the scale of the need.
The core does not change: start from the reality of the workshop and correct without dilution. What changes is the scope of the work to be done.
Team upskilling
Strengthen an existing team already at work.
For professionals who need to gain consistency in reflection reading, rework and coherence of method.
- Observation of the workstation, gestures, tools and workflow
- Assessment of individual gestures and recurring deviations
- Targeted corrections on the points that most undermine consistency
- Possible work on your parts, on site or at the Les Brenets workshop
- Validation based on your internal quality criteria
Objective: make the criteria clearer, more consistent and more widely shared.
Workshop structuring
Structure a method or reinforce an existing cell.
For a broader need: workstation, organisation, criteria, gestures to stabilise and continuity of method.
- Definition of the need, the workstations and the working environment
- Recommendations on equipment, ergonomics and organisation
- Skill development for the profiles concerned according to your objectives
- Setup or clarification of reading criteria, rework and visual control
- Possible follow-up over time to consolidate the method
Objective: establish a clear, autonomous and sustainable working method.
Intervention modalities
The format is defined from your workshop.
Duration, location, number of people involved and work intensity are defined according to the starting gestures, the parts concerned, your workflow constraints and the target result.
I do not apply a catalogue format to a specific context. The intervention starts with what can be observed at the bench — component, gesture, rework and inspection — so the team can stabilise a result that holds over time.
From a few days to several months, depending on the starting gestures, the number of people, the volume of work and the expected result.
On site or in Les Brenets, depending on what best allows observation, correction and hands-on practice without unnecessarily disrupting the workshop.
Your parts, your fixtures, your reading habits and your internal criteria can serve as the basis to stay as close as possible to the real work.
Preliminary exchange, confidentiality, clear priorities and validation of the scope before any intervention.
After framing: correction priorities, intervention format, number of people, components used, control points and possible follow-up.
Components and subcontracting
Work can be discussed on a very wide range of components.
The work can be assessed on many types of components to bevel, rework or finish, depending on technical feasibility, material, expected level and control criteria.
Component types
Simple, complex or highly specific components.
The scope may include bridges, wheels, hands, dials, plates, mainplates, small components, apertures, setting-lever springs or shaped components.
- Work on real components, old or contemporary
- Anglage, reworking, finishing or defect reading depending on the need
- Adaptation to materials, constraints and internal standards
Unique projects
High-end request, special component or one-off need.
Alexandra has already worked on unique very high-end projects. For subcontracting, delicate rework or a specific component, the safest step is to send the context and request a quote.
- Component type and material
- Expected finish or defect to correct
- Deadline, volume and confidentiality constraints
To prepare: photos, expected criteria and relevant components before any serious estimate.
Request a quoteWhat the intervention aims for
What the intervention should make more solid.
In a company context, the improvement has to be visible at the bench: in how deviations are read, in gesture stability, in the coherence of rework, in visual control and in the ability to hold a more consistent result.
01
Name deviations precisely
Identify what undermines the result: width, edge, trajectory, angle, rework and reflection reading.
02
Stabilise the gesture
Return to more accurate support points, better-controlled pressure and more consistent execution.
03
Share visual control
Make quality reading more common, clearer and less dependent on individual interpretation.
04
Establish a transferable method
Ensure that the criteria can be taken up again, maintained and shared more easily within the workshop.
First exchange
One first exchange can frame the need without heaviness.
Parts involved, starting gestures, number of people, workshop context, target result, production constraints: this first exchange is already enough to know whether the intervention is relevant and in what form it should be organised.
The goal is to set a useful, realistic and defensible method for your workshop.

Art de l’Anglage workshop, with the possibility of on-site intervention depending on the format defined.
Natural next step
If the need is real, it can be framed simply.
A message or a short exchange is enough to say where you are, what needs to be strengthened and in what form it can be worked on. If your need is more in line with an individual path, the Training page will guide you better.
