LISI GROUP - Activity report 2019

LEAP ASSESSMENT 2019 10 Gold plants 11 Silver plants 12 Bronze plants The LEAP program continues to be deployed within the framework of the LISI SYSTEM. This industrial performance program emphasizes advanced operational improvement tools (6-Sigma, just-in-time, Kaizen event and TPM). These proven methods improve productivity and increase quality. Integration of the objectives of the Group’s new CSR approach (see p. 30) also made it possible to position the A3 tool at the forefront of the program’s deployment. Societal challenges have thus taken their place at the heart of this strategy management tool. LEAP PROGRAM Industrial excellence Training and stock optimization Training and support plans for site leaders were at the heart of the LEAP 2019 strategy. They will continue in 2020 to guarantee the Group’s performance ambitions over the long term. In addition, the efforts put forth to control flows have already greatly contributed to optimizing stocks. They represented 76 days of sales in 2019, a level never reached by the Group. A new reference system The 3 most advanced plants in the deployment of the LEAP program (Saint‑Ouen‑l’Aumône, Grandvillars and Čejč, in the Czech Republic) tested a new benchmark this year. It is more rigorous and reflects the strengthening of the Group’s standards regarding those issues and offers a new margin of progression for the sites. Performance 52 LISI 2019
