BMW Group Plant Leipzig’s Exterior Components section, TEK, has scooped the prestigious Automotive Lean Production Award in the category for Lean Digital Transformation. It now ranks among Europe’s top production units for implementing lean production coupled with digital innovations – and sets new standards in the manufacturing sector.
Exterior Components (‘Technologie Exterieur Komponenten’, TEK) form a portion of the Purchasing and Supplier Network division at Leipzig. Its 450 employees produce over a million injection-molded plastic exterior parts annually, including bumpers, side sills and spoilers. These are supplied not just to Plant Leipzig but also to BMW Group Plants Dingolfing and Regensburg.
The jury cited the combination of lean principles and progressive digital approaches as part of the TEK 2028 vision, as being a key factor for success. The eighteenth Lean Production Awards are presented by Agamus Consult and the industry magazine Automobil Produktion. The official award ceremony will take place on 26 and 27 November 2024 in Palmela, Portugal.
