Case Study: Metso Outotec reduces cost of poor quality with CANEA's Lean Six Sigma

Reducing the cost of poor quality with Lean Six Sigma

Metso Outotec, a global leader in sustainable technologies for the minerals processing and metals refining industries, sought to reduce its cost of poor quality and improve operational performance. To achieve this, they partnered with CANEA to launch a Lean Six Sigma initiative aimed at enhancing quality, on-time delivery, and lead times at their Sala pump factory.

CANEA implemented a comprehensive solution involving customized training, workshops, and coaching for employees at all levels, from basic awareness courses to a full Green Belt certification program. This initiative equipped the organization with new skills in systematic improvement work. As a result, Metso Outotec identified significant annual savings to be realized in the coming years, built a sustainable platform for continuous improvement, and fostered a better working environment.
