  • Philips Lighting (Euronext Amsterdam Ticker: LIGHT)
    Philips Lighting (Euronext Amsterdam ticker: LIGHT) - a global leader in lighting products, systems and services - delivers innovations that unlock business value; providing rich user experiences that help improve lives. Serving professional and consumer markets alike, Philips leads the lighting industry in leveraging the Internet of Things (IoT) to transform homes, buildings and urban spaces. With 2015 sales of EUR 7.5 billion, Philips has approximately 36,000 employees in over 70 countries. Through the application of multiple tools and techniques within the Project Management (IPECC, PDCA), Lean, and Six Sigma methodologies within its ‘End-to-End Outdoor Made-to-Order’ (Outdoor MTO) project initiative, Philips Lighting achieved the following advances over 18 months: Consistent delivery reliability exceeding 96% (up from 75%) Committed 4-week customer lead-times increased from 1% to 42% of Outdoor portfolio Agent NPS scores improved from -56 to +4 Improvements replicated across over 50% of the Outdoor North America portfolio, impacting a projected $125m+ of annual revenue coverage Strategic Objectives and Scope Starting in 2013, Philips Lighting experienced a decline in market share year-over-year with a cumulative 15% revenue decline in the North America Outdoor Professional Channel, amidst an 11% growth trend in the market at large. In addition, external sales agent Net Promoter Scores (NPS) were extremely poor, indicating three deficiencies in the eyes of the customer: uncompetitive product lead-times, unreliable service, and poor communication. To reverse the negative trend, Philips Lighting launched the first Site phase of the End-to-End (“E2E”) Outdoor Made-to- Order (“Outdoor MTO”) transformation. With executive sponsorship aligned, a Project Management Office (“PMO”) was formed.
