Abstract :

The manufacturing is a competitive domain with a lot of challenges. Products need to be fabricated quickly, cost efficient and always responding to the changing demands of the market. Lifecycle of the products is decreasing, and the customization level of products is a basic need in order to survive on the market. Generally, lean manufacturing is a modern manufacturing principle that changed the traditional habits of production so that competitive advantage is held. But what comes after lean? Scrum is a generally software delivery methodology, but it’s principles can be applied also into manufacturing in order to have a quick and agile response to the production challenges. The current paper is debating on the advantages of using scrum framework into the production processes of a logistic equipment manufacturing company.
