Leading2Lean's Lean Execution System Now Deployed in All Autoliv Manufacturing Plants Across the Globe Cloud-based system allows Autoliv to have a seamless view of real time data across multiple plants, and multiple systems, in 27 countries

August 23, 2017 - Salt Lake City, Utah - Leading2Lean announced today that the company's Lean Execution System (LES) has been fully rolled out across Autoliv's 82 facilities in 27 countries. Autoliv (NYSE: ALV and SSE:

ALIVsdb), the worldwide leader in automotive safety systems, began rolling out the LES in 2015.

"Autoliv has been our customer for many years and we are thrilled that our LES is now being used across their many plants and facilities," said Keith Barr, CEO of Leading2Lean. "Autoliv started using our LES in just a few plants. Once they saw how our solution improved plant efficiency, plant production and employee morale, they decided to do a global rollout. We look forward to working with Autoliv for many years to come."

Leading2Lean's Lean Execution System is cloud-based and works across existing legacy systems, tying operations together and providing full-plant insights and analysis. Because the system is cloud-based, it is low cost, low risk and high reward. The LES helps manufacturers obtain true lean performance by focusing on problems and problem resolution in real time.
Problems on the plant floor are quickly identified, resources to fix problems are quickly dispatched, down time and waste are reduced, and efficiency improves.

The partnership between Leading2Lean and Autoliv began five years ago with the implementation of LES in several plants. The success of the LES in those plants led company executives to deploy the system across the entire Autoliv plant and facility network. The cloud-based technology enabled better communication and sharing of ideas across the network.

"A focus on quality is our top priority, and we've found a global partner in meeting this objective with Leading2Lean," said Phil Anderson of Autoliv.
"We have seen faster response to problems, more accountability and greater efficiency across our plant network."

Since the global rollout of Leading2Lean's Lean Execution System, key results for Autoliv have included:
- 30% improvement in response time to maintenance issues
- 5% improvement in operational availability
- 12% reduction in cost of spare parts
- Significant reduction in cost of product
- Improvements in other areas such as Preventative Maintenance (PM) completion, Overall Equipment Effectiveness (OEE), Mean Time to Repair (MTTR), and response time to quality issues
- Overall job satisfaction and improved employee performance.
