"...Technology can be a significant driver of engagement, ownership and contribution. Leading2Lean, for example, is a manufacturing technology company, whose cloud-based lean execution system, CloudDISPATCH, is driving engagement and business results right now in some of the largest companies in the world. The company’s software provides full plant floor transparency to every workstation on a plant floor.
This real-time access to data helps the worker identify, prioritize and solve the biggest problems on the plant floor. This is not science fiction or some future industry technology out of reach for most companies. It’s available now, and the results are clear. Companies using Leading2Lean's system are seeing significant increases in productivity and reduction in the cost of product as a result of people using technology to drive improvement.
Take for example, Autoliv, the world's largest automotive safety supplier, who deployed Leading2Lean's CloudDISPATCH in all 82 of its plants in 2017. As a result, the company has since seen a 30% faster response time to equipment issues, a 12% reduction in cost of spare parts, as well as improvement in production equipments' availability to produce by as much as 23% at some sites. Autoliv improved employee engagement, which in turn lead to measurable business improvements."
