Gregor Grolik – Vice President Operational Excellence (PE) – Festo

What does “making things means making people” mean? Are we talking about the power of material or machines? This subject needs to be extended to a different change level! Monozukuri is all of these things. Excellence change need to have the right developed people side which enable the right results. Beavers might make dams, and bees might make hives, but only humans actively and consciously improve their inventions to fundamentally change their environment.

Currently, I’m responsible for the Operational Excellence initiative @ FESTO we want to lift our processes to a world-class level. OPEX / Lean is a part of my life since 2002 and I could practice this exercise world wide.
