Business growth that calls for lean production
Throughout its 50-year history, Kontio has delivered more than 50,000 log buildings while doing production planning entirely on Excel spreadsheets.
But spreadsheet-planned production was the epitome of waste. Furthermore, because the existing system offered no true overall picture of production capability, it resulted in disconnected material flow throughout the factory.
When a company reaches 50 million euros in turnover, it begins to find that its growth is limited by its ability to plan and deliver. It was clear they needed to have a new approach.
