Remi Lequette

Former Senior Consultant, Business Unit Manufacturing

Perhaps it’s the French education system, but I enjoy discovering common models that underlie seemingly diverse problems, and applying science and mathematics in very practical ways. After studying engineering at one of the Grandes Ecoles and completing a PhD in Operations Research, I helped develop CAD software that was used to design cars and airplanes. Wanting a break from the lab, I became a planning & scheduling consultant – first with ILOG, and now with Quintiq. I’m fortunate to have spent the last 15 years solving challenges that include planning yoghurt production lines, optimizing the load of beer trucks, scheduling the final assembly of airplanes, and figuring out how many newspapers should be distributed to newspaper stands. I love visiting manufacturing plants and art galleries. I’m fascinated by manufacturing processes, art, philosophy and science.
