Decisions and actions

To achieve the objectives, the company has decided to question its approach to production management by designing a path that takes full advantage of the possibilities offered by the 4.0 paradigm both from a viewpoint of enabling technologies, application architecture and financial leverage.

To do this, a phased evolutionary roadmap was developed with the requirements to maximize the tax benefit that included the definition of an application architecture integrated from design to outbound logistics, an operational model that considers the supply ecosystem by building a networked company, the selection and implementation of application and technological solutions.
