Lean Manufacturing - a Company's work method for resource-efficiency During all the years that Company has been in business, we have met and conquered many challenges. We have grown and become the world's leading player in our three core businesses. In fact, these challenges and our ability to meet them have been the reason for our success.What do we expect in the future? Our customers demand greater expertise, flexibility, delivery precision, higher quality and lower prices. Society demands better use of the earth's resources. Owners expect greater profits. As employees, we want a safe and attractive workplace that enriches our lives.To meet these challenges, we need to further strengthen our improvement work and to become more structured and systematic. The answer is to become even better at using all the knowledge and commitment that we have within Company.Therefore, we created a Lean Manufacturing System- resource-efficient production matched to Company's business and products.What is Lean? It is a work method that affects all aspects of our operations. Lean is not a campaign that we in management are initiating to stir things up. Put simply, Lean is the way we will work in the future. Not just next month or this year, but forever. This brochure is intended to give you an idea of how Lean will change everyone's working life.How we developed it? The principles and philosophy of Lean are commenced with the Toyota Production System. For us, it has developed from our own experiences and from benchmarking of many corporate Lean systems to end up with the content that fits our Company. As its origin - both ends meet, all our systems are based on the Toyota Production System. Our Lean Manufacturing System will continue to develop as we implement it and we become more experienced. It will also continue to develop while exchanging experiences with partners, other affiliated companies or just by impressions from external sources.
