I am Julie, the current method process and innovation manager for Hop!. I have joined Hop! in 2018 as the first data scientist dedicated for the maintenance. Without any background in aeronautics, I had to learn the hard-way. I am located in Clermont-ferrand (Central France), where takes places the main maintenance division. As a Data Scientist, I have started at HOP by being in charge of designing KPIs to measure efficiency and reliability and I also got my hands on the creation of composite metrics regarding data processing automation. I parallel I was in charge of the maintenance predictive idea. At that time, the maintenance predictive was an idea that I had to transform in a realistic plan. To make it possible, I had to find a partnership with a mathematics university and propose internship to their students to compose the data science team. At all, I was responsible for evaluating software tools to support the data science work and implementing a solution that would meet the expectations of Maintenance and Engineering and the needs of the Maintenance Control Center. After four years, I was named Methods, Process and Innovation Manager at HOP. In my current job, the data science is a part of my group. I am responsible of the Amos users support, the business intelligence for maintenance, and some major projects like the paperless project (digitalization of maintenance / ETL).
