Codexx is pleased to announce that Grundfos A/S, the world leading pump manufacturer, has achieved a World Class level of manufacturing practices in its Danish factories according to the PROBE model. Alastair Ross, Director of Codexx, who led the recent benchmarking assessment at Grundfos said: “I have led regular best practice benchmarking assessments, at Grundfos since 1996 and have witnessed first-hand the major improvement effort and results achieved by their people. Their focus and sustained resourcing of improvement activities should be a lesson to all manufacturers. It has been a pleasure to work with Grundfos and apply methods such as benchmarking, world class manufacturing and Lean, to gain measureable and major improvement.” Grundfos A/S won the EFQM award in 2006 and continues to drive improvements across its manufacturing operations.
