News: The World Class Manufacturing is the protocol qualifying several worldwide leading manufacturers of goods and services. This new method is going to spread when it is necessary to check and to reduce the production costs consistently.

At the hearth of WCM there are the so-called 10 pillars:

- Occupational safety;
- Source of Economical losses;
- Focused improvement on specific issue;
- Organization of the workstation;
- Professional Servicing;
- Quality controls;
- Logistics/Customer Service;
- Strategy about acquisition of working methods;
- Environment and exploitation of sources of energy;
- Development of human skills.


This April, the annual suppliers conference is held at SOFIM plant located in Foggia, the place where the engines for CNH Group and FCA (STELLANTIS) Group are produced. The most leading Automotive TIER1 were present.

Mr Domenico Nucera, Vice President Quality of CNH Group, has summoned all the players of the Automotive sector on the purpose of taking stock of the situation regarding to methodologies related to spread of WCM, the sole standard maintained by components manufactures in order to grant a mass-production with stable quality.

Mr Nucera has stressed how important is having stable, lean and replicable processes because this is so crucial for offering a quality product according to the agreed timetable throughout the components supply. Even if the protocol were in force by 10 years, at the present many suppliers are already not exactly aligned with it and they are not totally able to grant the quality standard required by WCM.

That's where you come in, Punto Netto.
