Product details

This is part of a case series. Having successfully achieved integration of the five merged companies, Magneti Marelli could concentrate on becoming a world-class automotive component group. This meant addressing a number of problems such as reducing overheads, improving productivity, developing new products, focussing on core product lines, developing new partnerships (technical agreement with Motorola, joint-venture with Nippondenso) and applying the new Japanese manufacturing techniques - 'just-in-time' (JIT) manufacturing and 'total-quality-management' (TQM) - to their own production.
