After applying Lean in the bread and pastry factory, team 365 quickly realized that it could apply the same approach to every shop.
Lean techniques have allowed the company to not only grow in a competitive market, but to beat the competition on service, quality, and price, applying such methods as pull systems, supermarket management, standardized work, A3s, and visual management of the entire supply chain.
