Important results from the project
The aim was to arrange an event where former Production Leap companies should gather to share experiences from lean implementation and develop new business opportunities. The event was planned whith these two aims in mind but too few companies registred to attend and the event was cancelled. Therefore the aim failed.
Expected long term effects
Firstly the participating companies were expected to learn from eachother in order to deploy their improvement programs. Secondly some of the companies where expected to find new customers and/or suppliers at the event. Since the event was cancelled, none of these were fulfilled.
Approach and implementation
An in depth studie has been perfomed in order to understand why so few companies decided to attend. 34 of the invited 130 companies were contacted via a web survey or telephone interview. It is obvious that the companies want to meet but mainly for sharing experiences in the lean area. The business opportunities seem to be of less intrerest.
