Our experts analyzed the timing and movements of certain tasks to determine how to reduce handling, as well as reduce the level of work in progress. Recommendations were made on the planning strategy to decrease the warehouse space required for products in process. A detailed layout plan was developed to allow the implementation of a new organization of work while bringing the workforce togetherin the same place as much as possible.

"The Progima team’s interventions were a decisive factor in questioning the ways we work. Discussions with the experts also reassured us on certain elements that we had considered, but on which we had not acted."
