LISI GROUP - Integrated report 2021

LISI – 2021 INTEGRATED REPORT — 47 LEAP PROGRAM Achieving Industrial Excellence The LEAP program is deployed within the framework of the LISI SYSTEM, of which it is a key element. It is entirely dedicated to industrial performance. Thanks to the tools and proven methods of continuous improvement, LEAP enables factories to increase production quality and gain rigor through the deployment of proven organizational systems. The organization in Units and Autonomous Production Groups, the use of Lean Management standards (A3 strategic plans, daily management routines such as Problem Solving Management, 5S), as well as specific tools (TPM, Smed or Kaizen events project, implementation of just-in-time flows) contribute to the search for performance on a daily basis. The LEAP program has proved to be particularly suitable during the health crisis to support the sites in the implementation of appropriate organizational methods. The approach has been refocused on the needs of stakeholders and on the preservation of strategic activities. Reflection was also initiated from the A3 process pilot by capitalizing on feedback from the teams and integrating the CSR and LEAP approaches as transformation levers. COS PROGRAM Optimizing management processes A pillar of the New Deal plan and of the Group’s recovery strategy, the Controlling Operating System (COS) program makes it possible to optimize and strengthen the efficiency of all procedures related to administrative and management control functions. While contributing to the promotion of an economic culture across all levels of the company, the COS program has made it possible to preserve and strengthen the Group’s major financial balances during the crisis. In 2021 and in line with the previous year, the COS program has encouraged the LISI Group to adapt to changes in the market environment by facilitating the implementation of the strategy put in place by the New Deal plan. The adaptation procedures carried out in 2020 were pursued and made it possible to complete the adjustment component (Resize) of the plan. The various actions undertaken, particularly in terms of lowering the break- even point and preserving cash, have enabled the Group to maintain its ability to rebound in anticipation of a way out of the crisis.
