Agile Manufacturing or Lean Manufacturing?
An answer to key questions complementary to Lean Manufacturing Approach:
- Trade liberalization in the global industry - an opportunity for or a threat to your products?
- How do you want to improve your products' costs, lead times and cycle times?
- What are the key factors for success in the markets in which your company operates?
- How do you boost the flexibility and responsiveness of your production to market fluctuations?
From fragile to agile
Manufacturers are evolving in a globalized economy where exchanges of goods and services have significantly increased, boosting competition at the same time. This unpredictable and complex environment leads companies to adapt by implementing the principles of flexibility, adaptability and responsiveness.
The Agile company is a company that establishes a network of partners (upstream and downstream) with whom it maintains close and routine relationships based on trust and cooperation. The productsand services that the company offers stand out from those of its competitors, but are compliant with the requirements and individual preferences of each customer. The Agile company knows how to rapidly adapt to changes in the industry and to demand fluctuations.
ORTEMS solutions and the various research conducted with major industry leaders currently provide a unique and innovative solution based on the idea of Agility.
"It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent, but the one that is the most responsive to change”
