Scania’s Lean Journey –First 30 years and the upcoming next steps in this journey

Martin Lyckström
Scania and its ”The Scania Way” is recognized as a very good and efficient Lean system.
It started in the early 90’s, when we started a cooperation with Toyota and their “The Toyota Way”. A mutually cooperation that since then has been a long-term and fruitful cooperation.
What we realized, is that this successful Lean journey has been very focused on resource efficiency in each function. In order to utilize our system’s fully potential we now take the next step in our Lean journey, Flow efficiency. We will now accelerate the work with connecting the different steps in our Order to Delivery (O2D) process. In practise, we will balance flow- and resource efficiency throughout our O2D process.
I will share what next phase contains and our approach towards this opportunity.
