“mlean® Production System adoption by the users at Bamberg was easy, not only because of its intuitiveness but because even with no-PC experience employees were seeing a simple tool. Indeed, we were involving them in the plant decisions with their contributions.

Triggers & Business Challenges

For Grupo Antolin being a World-Class manufacturer, not only it was needed a Production System, but a tool to implement the system quickly all over the world. It was critical to choose an intuitive tool and easy-to-use by the employees to get their maximum contribution at every plant in the world.
