Faces Of Ariane 6: Thomas Probst, Production Management Ariane 6 Upper Stage

Meet ArianeGroup employees who play a role in building the Ariane 6 upper stage

ArianeGroup continues its mini-interview series with Thomas Probst, Work Package Manager for Ariane 6 upper stage production in Bremen. He develops efficient work routines to ensure on-time, on-cost and on-quality manufacture, assembly and test of the Ariane 6 upper stage.

What is your role in the Ariane 6 upper stage production?

My job is to ensure that everything runs smoothly in the production facilities, by establishing our ‘working logic’ in terms of routines and methods, making sure that everybody understands their roles and responsibilities, priorities and production objectives, and that all processes are correctly followed.

Together with the Product Manager I set up a timeline with clearly specified steps and deliverables, and should a problem occur I have to keep everything on course by adjusting production schedules and re-prioritizing tasks.
