Ferdi van Ginkel (Jumbo) and Leon van der Loo (Möbius) explained how Jumbo Production Systems (JPS) was implemented in Jumbo’s new fully automated Distribution Center in Nieuwegein, the Netherlands during the latest Process Improvement & Operational Excellence Summit in Amsterdam (6-8 April 2022).
The success of this Lean journey lies in combining 5 elements:
- Training & inspiration: of Management, Staff and all other employees
- Tooling: especially the start with a fully cascaded Performance Management structure, combined with Process Confirmation was key
- Branding & Visual Management: very strong JPS branding was applied in all places in the plant
- Coaching: an internal and external coaching program made sure that the design of JPS was properly translated in the organisation, and made sure that the program did not slowdown in time
- Cultural Change: all elements of the JPS house have been implemented in line with the Jumbo values and agreed behaviours
