Its technological development has been remarkable: from robotised plants to optimised processes and steady growth. But as Salvador Garc\u00eda de Lucchi explains, doing things well wasn\u2019t enough. The real challenge was preparing for an increasingly demanding and complex environment.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key lay in people\u2014in tapping not only into technology but also the knowledge and potential of those at the base of the organisation. \u201cIf you want people to contribute more, you have to give them more responsibility. And for that, you have to organise things differently,\u201d Salvador states.  <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Improvement as a culture, not only a method<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">At Mayoral, continuous improvement was never approached as a set of tools or one-off training courses. It began with a shift in mindset\u2014understanding that Lean is not just another methodology, but a way of organising that puts people at the centre. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">From there, a solid organisational base was built: autonomous workgroups with their own boards, KPIs, and the ability to self-manage. It was a major shift\u2014especially in a company where traditionally, instructions had always come from the top. \u201cNow they become self-managers,\u201d Salvador summaris  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The third milestone came two years later: improvement workshops run by small, almost engineering-like teams that identify needs, develop solutions, and apply improvements through Kaizen dynamics. It\u2019s a process that\u2019s still evolving and helping to professionalise the system even further. <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Mayoral has achieved? <\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If Salvador had to sum up the impact of this transformation in one word, it would be \u201cinvolvement.\u201d People have engaged at a deep level, and that has reshaped the culture. That, he says, is the company\u2019s greatest success.  <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Continuous improvement has become embedded in the organisation. And in a sector like fashion\u2014marked by agility, multichannel logistics and ecommerce\u2014that cultural advantage is hard to replic <\/p>\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Choosing SGS PRODUCTIVITY<\/h2>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The decision to work with SGS PRODUCTIVITY came through benchmarking with other companies. Salvador mentions examples like Pikolinos, Cervezas Alhambra, Prolongo and Fujitsu, where he saw real success stories and spoke directly with those involved. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What convinced them was SGS PRODUCTIVITY\u2019s technical mindset, experience in demanding sectors like automotive, and their ability to adapt that experience to other industries. \u201cIf they\u2019ve done it there, ours should be easier. And it was,\u201d he concludes. <\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Want your teams to stop waiting for instructions and start leading the change?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Mayoral, one of the leading brands in children\u2019s fashion, has embraced a continuous improvement model focused on engaging people.
