background
Weber Saint-Gobain is a global leader specialising in industrial mortars and construction chemicals.
Employing around 10,000 people and operating in over 63 countries, the company generates an annual turnover exceeding €2 billion. Following its acquisition by Saint-Gobain, Weber needed to integrate effectively into the World Class Manufacturing (WCM) framework of it’s new parent company.
the challenges
Post-acquisition, Weber client faced significant challenges in aligning its operational practices with Saint-Gobain’s rigorous WCM programme.
Critical issues included:
- Aligning existing WCM practices with strategic objectives
- Achieving consistency in standards and performance across global operational sites
- Managing the cultural and operational shift required to meet Saint-Gobain’s high performance and efficiency standards
our solution
Henkan partnered with Weber Saint-Gobain to develop a customised leadership course explicitly designed to meet the organisation’s strategic goals, core values, and overall mission.
This approach ensured:
- Alignment of leadership and operational practices with broader corporate strategic objectives
- Comprehensive improvements across operational, financial, and safety metrics
“I would recommend the instructor course for any continuous improvement programme, particularly for a business that’s struggling to gain traction in driving forward transformational change.”
