Heineken is a multinational brewery, founded in 1864 by Gerard Adriaan Heineken in Amsterdam, with a history spanning more than 140 years. The Heineken Group currently produces 348 beers and ciders, including international, regional and local varieties, as well as various specialities.
The Heineken Group, which operates in 192 countries, began its Lean transformation in 2008. Over the years, it has progressively rolled out a culture of continuous improvement across the entire group. Apex Mindset is the partner of the central continuous improvement office (TPM Global Office) for the transformation of logistic processes.
“In HEINEKEN we have been working with Apex for several years. It all began when Marius helped us to develop training materials on value stream mapping, and to deliver that training to many of our supply chain partners around the world."
