Cost efficiency

Efforts to increase cost-efficiency continue in all areas, including common product platforms with fewer components and common product development.

In production, flexible final assembly close to the customer is combined with the transfer of high-volume standard production to external and internal production units in low-cost countries.

The implementation of Lean methods continues, and is leading to more efficient production flows, better control of material costs, improved decision-making procedures, shorter development times and increased cooperation between marketing and sales teams.
