Be inspired by the success story of PAMA S.p.A.! Consistent modularization has unlocked significant efficiency potentials and increased product diversity while reducing costs. Michele Dal Ri, Director of Product Development at PAMA, explains: "We no longer needed the multitude of different parts to meet the different customer requirements. The previous system of comprehensive customization had grown historically and arose from individual technical considerations." 🛠️ This transformation spans the entire business sector and has achieved impressive results: 🚀Sales: The new SPEESDRAM PMS machine, which was developed from the modular design, has become PAMA's best-selling model within a very short time. 🚀Design: The number of newly developed parts has been reduced by 80 percent. 🚀Production: Assembly cycle times have been reduced by up to 50 percent. 🚀Configuration: The possibilities of the freely configurable modules are even greater than before in many areas, so that customers can select and expand their machines even more individually. 👉Read the magazine article now. https://lnkd.in/duueYQhc #staufenag #bestpractice #Innovation #Industrie40

Rethinking the Supply Chain: The Key to Resilience   For too long, the supply chain has been driven primarily by cost considerations. But is that enough anymore? Is it time to reconsider how supply chains are structured? Even before recent crises, it was becoming clear that this traditional approach wasn't sustainable. Many companies have shifted back to more localized models, recognizing that global networks are often too rigid and vulnerable to risk, which limits their ability to adapt and deliver effectively. ” The global value networks of many companies are too inflexible, intransparent and risk-prone to be able to react to threats and thus remain capable of delivering,” says Canan Jungel, Head of Supply Chain Network Management at Staufen.   In our latest magazine feature, Christian Ullrich, Head of SCNM at Staufen and Christoph Glock from the Technical University of Darmstadt explore how digitalization, AI, and other innovations can enhance resilience in supply chain management.
