ASA case study for the CUOA Master in Lean Management

“Concretely verifying the fundamental steps of a Lean transformation of production processes and experiencing its positive impact on people's daily work - explains Andrea Cometti, Senior Consultant Sintesia – is an important phase to internalise the theory studied in the classroom and a stimulus to become protagonists of change, identifying with those who share the same experiences, difficulties and objectives”.

Roberto Marchesini, General Manager ASA, is also of the same opinion, recalling how the transformation process in a Lean perspective that concerns the company can represent a useful example for all those professionals, managers and entrepreneurs who lead or wish to start a process of Lean Transformation.

“Committing to this mode of production, minimising wastefulness with the final aim of eliminating it – he specifies – implies a progressive revision of one's working culture. A process that, although not simple, seeks to make us increasingly ecffective on markets around the world, aiming for conscious development”.

The further step taken by ASA, consisting of a Lean Office path that currently involves the Quality and Engineering departments, goes in this direction.

"Meeting with the students of the Master - says Alessandro Massignan, ICT department of ASA - was very useful because it allowed us to collect various ideas to reflect on”.
