"Timeless designs that encourage reuse"
24 February 2010
The ‘University of Cambridge Institute for Manufacturing’ writes:
“There are many examples of changing industrial practice.
We have chosen a range of cases that illustrate the scale of potential improvement and cover a range of sectors and operational scales. We do not claim that these examples are either best practice or ultimately sustainable.
Notwithstanding the significant levels of improvement the companies have achieved, each recognises that they are at the early stages of a long journey. In their different ways they have each looked into the future and identified a need to change, and targeted key aspects of their business for change.”
