This
is a real case study on the implementation of Lean techniques in
designing. Comer Industries is a worldwide leader in the design and
production of advanced engineering systems and mechatronics solutions
for power transmission. Lean Design is the approach defined by Comer
Industries executives to face the new market challenges. Bonfiglioli
Consulting has been appointed as change agent in this lean journey._ |
This case study describes a successful implementation of the Lean techniques within an head hunting agency. The study highlights how given the increasing market competition, it is crucial for organisations to improve their overall performance not only in manufacturing, but also in all the other supporting services (data entry, procurement, bookkeeping, customer service….) to reduce overheads. In this respect Lean techniques, which have significantly improved performances in manufacturing, can be successfully implemented in the services sector with relevant customisations._ |
