WE GROW TOGETHER
INDUSTRIAL FIELD CONNECTIVITY
Phoenix Contact began as a family-owned business and has grown to become a global market leader in electronics. It seeks to improve itself continuously with the goal being speed and flexibility in reacting to customer needs and market developments. Therefore, Phoenix Contact has changed from a centralized organizational structure to a decentralized product oriented enterprise in order to bring a strong market and customer focus with regard to market segmentation. For one of the resulting business units, industrial field connectivity, DIALOGBILD created a strategy picture, which shows the interfaces, processes and stakeholders. The aim of this picture is a common understanding for a functioning network across all business units and the goals of this specific business unit IFC.
A strategy for growth needs the cooperation and acceptance of all staff. So, Phoenix Contact decided from the beginning, to allow everyone to participate in the development workshops. In the first workshop the managers created the background and structure. The second workshop was used to define the content by a cross-departmental group.

Driven by the vision of the new production system "Excite customers, hunt waste, master processes" the new Jägermeister production system (JMPS) was developed in cooperation with Porsche Consulting. The introduction is intended to drive goals such as efficiency and growth and to achieve greater flexibility in order to be able to respond to current trends.
The principles of the production system are represented by 4 massive cornerstones in the production hall: "Lived perfection. Shaping the future. Qualified staff. Lean processes." The End2End value stream, which is geared towards the customer, starts at the top left with the fair purchase of the ingredients and ends at the bottom right with the worldwide delivery of the products. The production with its new principles forms the centre of the dialog picture.

Creating transparency about the target system, making it understandable and easy to communicate to all employees, providing the opportunity for personal identification and describing the way into the future to ultimately provide a higher-level orientation for the entire company - these were the reasons why ALMO decided to create a dialog picture.
