A Manufacturing Excellence programme was launchedto sustainably drive change and achieve those targets. Key elements of the programme:
- Creating an infrastructure for change through training & coaching of change agents
- Simple and practical solutions rolled out into the sites around dimensions of Process Excellence, Performance Management and People Engagement (e.g. 5S, visual management, OBEYA- room, leadership development and Gemba-walks)
Results:
- Data-driven decision making and effective management of performance is now the norm at sites
- Local and enabled change infrastructure established – from top floor to shopfloor
- Sustainable and tangible process improvements realized (reduced downtime, avoided product contamination)
