Objective of the initiativeAUTOMOBIL PRODUKTION and Agamus Consult are carrying out the Automotive Lean Production study for the 12th time. The Europe-wide initiative that dedicates itself to Lean manufacturing focusses on the following questions:
► What are the success factors of Lean Production?
► Who applies lean methods and strategies and what are the results in terms of quality, cost and delivery performance?
► How does the increasing digitalization of the production affect the existing production systems?
The best performers of the study are awarded with the Automotive Lean Production Award in different categories. Eligible are plants and business units which employ more than 250 employees.
Application procedureAfter analysis of the questionnaires, the top performers – candidates for the 2017 Automotive Lean Production Award – are visited for further analysis and on-site validation of the results. In a personal feedback session you discuss your strengths and potential for improvement with the experts.The leanest and most efficient enterprises are awarded on the Congress Automotive Lean Production on November 6th/7th, 2017 and present their prize-winning projects and strategies.
ResultsAll participants receive an individual evaluation with Benchmark rating on an international comparison on request.
Participation is free
Automotive Lean Production – Award & Study
Comments from former participants…
„While engaging ourselves with the questions, we were able to reflect on our achievements once again as well as bringing into focus the challenges of the steps that lie ahead of us.“Peter Lion, Head of Department HoP1/BPS - Bosch Production System, Robert Bosch GmbH, Plant Homburg
“By participating in the initiative Automotive Lean Production – Award & Study and the following on-site visit, we had the opportunity to reflect our previous activities in an extended frame of reference. The impulses and suggestions we received from the Agamus Lean experts during the exchange of experiences are very helpful for us.”Michael Fischbach, General Manager Production System Kassel, Volkswagen AG
„Completing the Automotive Lean Production questionnaire and the feedback received based on the collectedbenchmark data, helped us to identify and assess new fields of action and to derive the appropriate measures.“Uwe Zakel, Lean Management, Wolfgang Loch e.K.
Benefit for Participants► Benchmarking On base of the individual evaluation every participating plant can draw its own benchmark regarding application of lean methods and achieved results.
► Comprehensive self-reflexion Beyond benchmarking the questionnaire focusses on a variety of success factors (e.g. communication and change management, trainings, planning of resources, Lean Roadmap, …), which were developed based on the experience of more than 11 years Automotive Lean Production – Award & Study by Agamus Consult. The critical analysis helps to identify blind spots at the approach in every stage of Lean implementation.
► External Feedback on request For all participants, which do not belong to the group of finalists, Agamus Consult offers an evaluation visit which is independent from the award on request. Incurred travel expenses have to be beard.
