“In a market undergoing such radical change, it is essential to implement a system for planning and controlling contracts which is as simple, flexible and integrated as possible between the various function managers and operating staff”.
Umberto Pittarello, Chief Operating Officer of Tecnopool, goes straight to the point to explain the lean turn taken by the company together with Lenovys.
A structured but necessary path, to learn to manage the market demand according to a proactive and more efficient logic.

Applying the principles of lean thinking, might seem like the preferred way to go. On the other hand, improving processes to reduce waste by putting the customer and people at the center is an already ambitious project.

But is it enough to copy and paste some of the tools of lean to face the market challenges, increasingly complex and variable?
Faced with this question, Tecnopool has looked even further in choosing to embrace the Lean Lifestyle, the approach to change of Lenovys.

The goal of Lean Lifestyle is to combine business needs with individual needs, technical excellence with social excellence. In other words, create a link between processes, tools and people, not only to increase results but also to make employees feel good.
