Automotive Parts Supplier Gears for Growth With Lean Manufacturing

Overview Haldex develops and manufactures specialized automotive parts for commercial and consumer vehicles. As the effects of globalization intensified in the late 1990s, Haldex needed to cut costs to compete with companies abroad and to improve responsiveness to match domestic competitors. To meet these challenges and to keep up with rapidly growing global demand, Haldex decided to implement lean manufacturing practices. Working with lean manufacturing specialists at Microsoft Gold Certified Partner Avanade, Haldex replaced a heterogeneous mix of business systems with Microsoft Dynamics AX. Extended with a Lean Enterprise Management solution from Avanade, Microsoft Dynamics AX helps Haldex respond quickly to customer demand without waste. In addition, the system is flexible enough to support continuous improvement across Haldex's diverse lines of business.
