Congress 2024

The 18th Automotive Lean Production Congress will take place on 12/13 November 2024 at the Volkswagen Autoeuropa in Lisbon and Palmela, Portugal. We are looking forward to having Volkswagen Autoeuropa hosting the event and giving exclusive insights in the plant in Palmela. With the congress 2024, we invest into the European automotive industry, because it is about keeping Europe at the top as a competitive continent.

Dr. Werner Geiger, Managing Director of Agamus Consult, who launched the initiative 18 years ago, is looking forward to its continuation in 2024: "The Lean Congress is a firmly established tradition in the automotive industry. We are already working on revising the format for 2024."

We will once again award the best digitalisation project in the automotive industry. Don't miss participating in the study 2024 which starts in February.

Review of the Congress 2023

Innovative solutions based on Lean and Digitalisation were the cornerstones of the 17th international Automotive Lean Production congress on 14th and 15th of November 2023 in Munich and Dingolfing, Germany. Next to visionary keynotes and an exclusive plant tour through the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, Agamus and Automobil Produktion awarded the best European plants with the prestigious Automotive Lean Production Awards based on the corresponding benchmark study during a festive awards ceremony.

During the two day event at the BMW Welt Munich and the BMW Group Plant Dingolfing, the winners of the different award categories received their honors and presented their best-of-class implementations to the audience.
