been successfully deployed in more than
70 smart factories globally, resulting in a
10% productivity increase due to downtime
mitigation and 70% improved response
time due to automated escalation of
production issues.
“We are delighted at the results we’ve
achieved to date by deploying the AVEVA
Discrete Lean Management solution in
our manufacturing plants, as part of our
Smart Factory initiative,” said Hany Fouda,

VEVA, a global leader in engineering
and industrial software, has
unveiled its new Discrete Lean
Management software to support Digital
Transformation in the discrete manufacturing
market. The offering improves operational
efficiency through the digitalisation of lean
work management for both manual and
automated production lines. AVEVA’s quick-
to-deploy and easy to use digital tools enable
access to production information, KPIs and
notifications on dashboards, workstations and
mobile devices to improve overall equipment
and labour effectiveness, and to facilitate
data-driven continuous improvement.
AVEVA Discrete Lean Management is
designed to address the issues faced by
operating manufacturing plants still using
paper-based systems for lean and work order
management, work instructions and data
collection procedures. It enables physical
records to be replaced with digital tools that
mitigate the risk of manual processes and

provides real time visibility into production
performance, allowing team collaboration in
response to production issues.
“AVEVA Discrete Lean Management is
the result of our close collaboration with
Schneider Electric and has already been
successfully deployed as a digital lean
system to many of its plants globally. We are
excited to be able to announce the general
availability of these proven lean and industry
best practices to all our customers to help
improve their manufacturing productivity
and profitability, and also jump-start
their smart manufacturing and Digital
Transformation journeys,” said Harpreet
