ALPS is built upon Lean and Six Sigma (LSS) philosophies and contains values (how we behave), principles (how we make decisions), methods and tools. ALPS is the foundation on the journey ahead in becoming Lean Digital.
We in the ALPS Central Team lead change through others by knowledge, experience and inspiration. We are responsible for ALPS and LSS within Alfa Laval. This means that we develop the system, together with line of business, and support the implementation by teaching, coaching and by running projects or kaizen events.
