Lean Projects Programme

We introduced our Lean Program into Siemens Rail Automation in 2017. So far we have seen the implementation of new technologies and have standardised key processes nationally. The most important change we are seeing, is the shift in our approach to identifying and developing new ways of working that are smarter and faster. Our teams are harnessing an environment of improvement and innovation at every level of the organisation.
