Considi

Considi, a consulting company created in 1980 and synonymous with TPS (Toyota Production System), has been among the first ones in Italy to understand the need for a lean organizational approach in supporting entrepreneurs and managers towards an effective and efficient corporate organization. It has long maintained the idea that the market is an ever changing environment and therefore also the traditional TPS (Toyota Production System) has evolved into Toyota Profit System, an all-round corporate management system. The tenets of lean production can be applied to all business functions with an approach that aims at increasing the value for clients down the whole supply chain. The core skills of Considi are articulated into 4 main strands:

• Operation : improving productive processes; from order entry to shipment passing through manufacturing.
• Innovation : improving product development processes, from design to product.
• Organization : improving service management processes.
• Business Innovation :bridge the innovation gap existing in companies.

In the context of the above mentioned areas of expertise we have developed:
