Digital Talk | GEA Group: the path to implementing Lean Six Sigma from training to project management in production

Lean Six Sigma is a key to Operational Excellence, is a method for solving complex problems in a structured way, in realities that you want to put into play to grow in skills and effectiveness.
Strengths:

• The management of the improvement process in a structured and organized manner: not an occasional event, but a change in corporate mindset that sees improvement management as a profit center for the company;
• group work to share expertise: Manage small, motivated, and capable teams to drive unique, but strategically coordinated improvement projects.

The heart of the improvement process becomes people: corporate resources promote change to achieve excellence.

GEA Group, one of the largest manufacturers of machinery and equipment for the Food&Beverage and pharmaceutical industries with more than 18,000 employees worldwide, has embarked on a journey Lean Six Sigma with the goal of bringing customer value to the center of design and production activities while optimizing internal processes.

But what are the real benefits and what are the critical issues that Operational Excellence groups may encounter in adopting this approach?

Matthew Horse Lean Coordinator member of the Operational Excellence at GEA Group with Corrado Di Perna Business Development Manager at Bonfiglioli Consulting, will tell the story of the journey to Operational Excellence through the launch of training programs to develop an established corporate culture of the Lean Six Sigma approach supported by a dedicated Green Belt and Black Belt matrix structure.

Lean Six Sigma is not a blueprint, but an approach that starts from a top-down perspective and is implemented in a bottom-up exchange. It is a philosophy of thinking that must permeate people's mindsets: only then can it make a leap in management and performance.
