Review of the Congress 2023



Stefanie Hegels, Plant Manager of the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Plant Poznan and this years host of the ALP congress, comments on this years event:

"I am pleased that the next edition of the respected Automotive Lean Production Congress will take place in Poznan, a city where development and tradition complement each other. Here, at the Volkswagen Poznan plant, we have been proudly producing the Volkswagen Caddy for more than 20 years. At our plant, we focus on innovative solutions in processes and technology. This makes it a perfect place for discussions and the exchange of experiences on the topic of LEAN in the automotive industry."

The 18th ALP congress inspired its participants with visionary and thrilling keynotes, as well as innovative and pioneering winner presentations and implementations of Best Practices in Lean and Digitalization. As part of the festive evening event, Agamus Consult and Automobil Produktion awarded the best plants of the benchmark study on the topic Lean and Digitalization in the various awarding categories with their awards. The large audience of experts could gain inspiring insights in the biggest automotive plant in all of Portugal at the exclusive plant tour at Volkswagen Autoeuropa.
