"The key to our financial survival and competitiveness lies to an increasing degree in the growing expansion of the ability to learn, to innovate and to change. During two re-organisation steps, we firstly introduced flow production according to the pull principle. The main results were reduced processing times and small closed quality loops. During the second step and within the scope of the planning of a new building, we had the opportunity to materialise our vision of a process-oriented factory. The fact that we won the renowned award “Best Factory” at the first onset is clear evidence that nothing is more successful than permanent change.”
