Pain

Constant firefighting results in
delighted customers but prevents
focus on performance in global lean
production system.

Problem statement

Labour-intensive to align daily activity with performance targets across key business units.

Root cause

Operational and customer performance scorecards were managed in spreadsheets maintained separately by each business unit.

Software evaluation

i-nexus was evaluated against three leading enterprise project management tools.

i-nexus was selected based on its robust performance management capabilities in addition to comparable project management features.

i-nexus license costs were lower than
other vendors.

“Our teams were heroes driven by a single purpose – to delight our customers. At all costs. But firefighting came at a price and it became almost impossible to focus activities on performance in our lean manufacturing system.”
Steffan Oswald, Vice President Business Excellence, Flex Inc.
