22 Apr DiCOmo takes the road of LEAN PRODUCTION
DiCOmo is carrying out with its partners the LEAN PRODUCTION, but what does it mean, how does it work and how can this be done with customers?
Lean production is a management system that aims to minimize waste down to cancel them and DiCOmo, as a consultant company, helps its partners in the application of the here below 5 guiding principles:
- Define the value from customer’s point of view;
- Identifying the value’s flow: determining the set of actions leading to the realisation of the product or service;
- Make activities smoothly: everything must be done for processes and not for functions, without stops or interruptions;
- Set the activities according to the “pull” and not “push” logic, meaning to realize an activity only when the downstream process requires it;
- Pursuing perfection through continuous improvements: KAIZEN (KAI = change, improvement / ZEN = good, better).
Thanks to lean production, DiCOmo, together with its partners and against limited investments, has been able to obtain significant improvements compared to several key factors that have led to very positive feedback from customers:
- Reduction of delivery times and increase of punctuality (level of service);
- Increased efficiency and productivity of resources;
- Reduction of processing costs and related price lists;
- Increased level of quality;
- Increased flexibility to mix variations;
- Reduction in intermediate and final stocks.
Lean production or, in its most extensive form lean thinking, does not refer only to warehouse’s issues but it’s the starting point for a path in the development of good business practices, declined in all industrial sectors and in all types of business.
Thanks to the application of this management system, DiCOmo’s customers have noted an improvement in the company’s organization, more punctual deliveries, better purchase conditions (prices, MOQ, etc.) and an increase in the level of quality in general.
As a result, despite the various changes in the market and the problems related to the historical period we are experiencing, customers and partners have realized that this system which aims at perfection thanks also to the continuous stimulus to do better and to a greater flexibility, it is a starting point in favour of the business evolution.
The world goes on and it is important not to get lost in the sea of opportunities that a company can find and DiCOmo has been able to make the most of his knowledge and adaptability of partners guiding them on the right path, traced together, using the compass of collaboration and mutual respect.
