Value Stream Transformations
Several sites across Northern Europe were underperforming, putting jobs and even site operations at risk.
To address this, a programme focused on culture change and collaborative problem-solving was launched. Local leaders were coached to lead value stream design and improvement initiatives, putting them at the heart of the transformation.
Over 90% of the workforce participated in lean improvement events, covering all areas from order to cash, including customer services. Breakthrough methods were embedded as standard, with high-pace collaboration delivering measurable results in just one week and visual management ensuring ongoing daily improvement.
The success of the programme led to a global rollout, engaging 40,000 employees in continuous improvement initiatives.
