My name's Bernard Levesque and I'm the Technical and Quality Manager at MTS¹ in Paris and work within the MTD¹ -the Materials Testing Division, which makes equipment used by industrial firms to test the strength and durability of materials like plastics, metals and so forth We're a subsidiary of MTS Systems Corporation, an American firm based in Minneapolis. MTS employs roughly 2,200 people worldwide and is a leading supplier of mechanical testing and simulation equipment. Our major development and manufacturing operations are located in the US, France and Germany, and we have sales and service offices around the world.

Before I describe the organisation of my department, I'll outline the structure from the top, starting with our CEO², who oversees all aspects of our activities here. Just below him is the General Manager, who is my immediate superior. Then there's the Human Resources Director, and the GM's Secretary, who also report directly to him. We have a management team that includes myself, the Sales Manager, the Finance Manager, and of course, the Marketing Manager. There are also two new departments - Customer Service and NVD, the Noise and Vibration Division - headed by Louis Regnier and Patrick Dhommee respectively.

Now, getting back to the way my department is organised, I'm responsible for operations, so I'm in charge of Purchasing and Planning, R&D and Quality. In R&D, there are three sub-departments — Mechanical Engineering, Electronics, and Software Engineering — which are involved in developing new products and modifying existing products to meet customer demands. They receive technical specifications from the Marketing Department and provide drawings, a parts list and assembly instructions. Nathalie Launay works closely with me on Quality - an area that takes up nearly a third of my time. And finally there's the head of Shipping, as well as the person in charge of Assembly, who also report to me.

Notes:

MTD¹ -the Materials Testing Division

CEO² – chief executive officer – главный исполнительный директор
