The study showed Sanofi-Aventis how to re-jig its production lines in order to maximise efficiency. The result of the re-jig was £1.4m-worth of inventory cost savings in just six months.
Trevor Norman, Sanofi-Aventis' continuous improvement manager, said the factory has 11 lines. The mix of variables, which included quantity, capacity and frequency of products made it too complex to maximise efficiency manually, so it turned to Lanner.
