| Sumario: | JetCycle’s new foil cycling craft, the JetCycle Max, is set to hit the market in the 202 1 summer season. This innovative, ambitious idea was born from a discussion between a former Tour de France director and a town mayor in the Pays de la Loire region in 2012, and it was soon delegated to the Savoie Mont Blanc University for its technical development. After the construction of 2 prototypes in 2016 and 2019 Cycle. , the level of maturity of the project caught the attention of institutions and investors willing to contribute to the success of the Jet The year 2020 was a remarkable year for the project, with the creation of the company in October and the progress of the industrial prototyping phase, in which key industrial partners were secured for the stages that would follow: product validation and small to middle scale industrialisation. The mission of the internship , which was conducted within Grenoble INP’s Sustainable Industrial Engineering Master’s Degree program, was defined for the kick industrialisation phase of the JetCycloff of the e Max, with the objective of establishing the basic methodology of the industrial process around the craft. As part of the on months of the internship covered a testing and improvement phase prototype that would lead t boarding, the first of the industrial o the final validation of the product. Such advancements and the encountered difficulties have been reported and documented in detail to keep track of the progress of the project. During the product validation phase, the coordination with the aforementione d industrial partners (foil manufacturer, composite materials expert for hull construction, industrial designer) was crucial with regards to the commercialisation of an impeccably finished and fully functional product, which would be situated in the high p rice range of the nautical leisure sector. The internship concluded with the conception of a stock management system for the small assemblies and the and middle scale industrialisation, the definition of the quality acceptance criteria for each of the sub delivery of a first BOM optimisation (internal documents), as well as the external documents that will complete the JetCycle Max’s package: warranty, user’s manual, and regulation compliance certificates |
