Data Owner - Freelance

Project overview

Context

As part of the global reorganization of the laboratories of a large company specializing in sports, the Hard laboratory is looking for its future data owner.

The laboratories will progressively undergo a strategic shift to improve their characterization and validation responses, define the best paths for employees, and develop operational excellence in service of product excellence.

The laboratory network must work to harmonize and align its requirements in order to build an operational quality policy that can meet new design challenges, such as multi-location, diverse design schemes, support for compliance across different distribution channels, etc.

The laboratory's activities are currently multi-site in France (Lille, Hendaye, Passy), and present in many other countries (Portugal, China, India, Vietnam, ...) through production office laboratories, partner laboratories, and finished product supplier laboratories.

The laboratory reorganization project, initiated 2 years ago and in the deployment phase for 6 months, has enabled the creation of a strong steering committee of activity leaders and a support team focused on common themes (human resources management, service procurement, positive influencing, chemical risks). The next step is therefore the harmonization of the overall quality policy and its local applications.

It is in this context of transformation that this 1.5-month data audit mission is situated, aiming to lay the foundations for a Data-Driven organization in service of the operational excellence of the laboratories.

Missions

• Conduct an exhaustive assessment, map the existing situation, and structure the Data roadmap for the laboratories.
• Define user (Business) needs.
• Analyze real use cases: conduct interviews with the various business teams (lab side) across different sites/offices.
• Identify pain points: gather current blocking points, data entry duplication, and information loss.
• Identify at-risk data and data created but not used.
• Map & leverage existing assets:
• Evaluate key sources: analyze the usage level and relative importance of structuring tools (e.g., STARLIMS).
• Inventory unstructured data: identify sources of unstructured data (particularly the extraction and automated processing of PDFs/test reports).
• Review of existing assets: list the dashboards, reports, and data tables already in place to capitalize on what works.
• At the end of the mission, provide an audit report and a map of the existing situation including:
• Mapping of inter-site and inter-tool data flows.
• A list of data risks.
