Whether it is to sell products or services, to attract and retain talent, or to attract capital, the commitment to a responsible approach is becoming essential and is perceived as a vehicle for progress: isn\u2019t the opposite of sustainability obsolescence? <\/p>\n<p>Like the digital revolution that began 20 years ago, the principle of responsible growth represents a radical transformation whose spread throughout the entire economy is accelerating. New opportunities will certainly arise from this, but many companies &#8211; large and small &#8211; will also have to face profound changes that question their business model and their sustainability. In order to better support its portfolio companies in this transformation process, Sparring Capital has decided to create a &#8220;Sustainability Manager&#8221; role, and to entrust it to a specialist in the implementation of CSR policies, in charge of intervening alongside the front office investors. This newsletter is an opportunity to get to know him and the new Sparring Capital recruits. It also discusses the concept of Lean Durable\u00ae (Sustainable Lean), created and supported by Pop, the latest investment of the SC Fund 2.

This approach, created after the Second World War by the automotive sector (inspired by the Toyota production model), has shown its effectiveness on economic results (industrial profitability) and on the level of product quality. Today, Lean has become a fundamental cornerstone of corporate management. It aims to involve all the players in an organisation on a daily basis in order to identify, qualify and solve issues (called \u201cwaste\u201d which make operational processes less productive). We talk about reducing non-value added time such as waiting for parts, lack of decision making, work to be redone, unnecessary operations and especially over-production that monopolises resources to build up too much inventory. Finally, we speak of a \u201cLean approach\u201d when the management of a company decides to structure a continuous improvement process in its medium\/long term strategy. Lean then makes it possible to ensure the satisfaction of the customers by the permanent search for the best quality at the best price. It also ensures that employees work in better conditions.       <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6fd03d1 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"6fd03d1\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e9d8c37 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"e9d8c37\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">What are the advantages of Lean Management for companies?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-24c7d14 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"24c7d14\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>In our opinion, Lean Management is the main vehicle for sustainable performance for a company. It makes it possible to obtain very short-term results from both a quality and profitability point of view. And if it is applied with strong managerial values, it gives meaning to the work of each employee. On a day-to-day basis, Lean makes it possible, through its collaborative approach, to solve \u201cirritants\u201d, those recurrent operational anomalies that annoy and stress employees at their workstations. We understand that Lean, when used properly, is also a vehicle for better communication within a team and contributes to improving social relations.

Moreover, at that time, the environmental aspects were totally underestimated in the method. In these companies, we saw significant but unsustainable short-term economic gains and a demotivated workforce. At POP, we decided to challenge the Lean methodology with the aim of returning to the fundamentals of the approach and thus moving towards sustainable performance, which is both a source of employee fulfilment and a guarantee of economically responsible gains. In concrete terms, we have developed the tools of the methodology by integrating a human dimension and we lead our clients to integrate the global performance approach (Client\/Employee\/Environment).

The global performance cornerstone focuses on the deployment of Lean production tools, the reduction of waste and variability, and the improvement of quality.

It is a real factory making skateboards and a showroom for Lean Durable\u00ae best practices. This educational tool, unique in France because of its global approach (Lean manufacturing, Lean office, Lean strategy) is a place of learning in which our trainers help our clients discover Lean tools and show them the subtleties of making their continuous improvement approach sustainable.

The construction of performance indicators is an integral part of the methodology. The KPIs are customised in order to best meet the expectations of the teams and management. We build them and make them consistent between the different hierarchical levels of the company. Classically, we will find operational and financial KPIs such as the customer satisfaction rate (deadlines, quality), profitability (productivity, material yields, margins, etc.), supplier performance (service rate, \u201dRight first time\u201d etc.), but also the employee well-being rate (team weather report, presenteeism, ergonomics, feedback, etc.), and finally the environmental aspects (energy consumption, waste, scrap, etc.) It is important to remember that we co-construct with each client its own indicators that will enable it to measure the progress of its sustainable performance.     <\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-945b625 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\" data-id=\"945b625\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;background_background&quot;:&quot;classic&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"e-con-inner\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-3400c17 elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"3400c17\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Is it possible to link Lean Management and the CSR approach?<\/h3>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-eb03949 elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"eb03949\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>We believe that a Lean Management approach, deployed according to the sustainable approach recommended by POP, is an integral part of a company\u2019s CSR approach.
