 A case study
Lean Six Sigma, Premi Beauty Industries
and the digital revolution

Overview
Several years ago, Milan-based Premi spa Beauty
Industries, a market-leading packaging company in
the fragrance, skin care and make-up sector
decided to adopt Lean Six Sigma methodologies in
their day-to-day process optimisation program in
order to maximise productivity through continuous
waste reduction while offering their staff a more
collaboration-based work environment based on
performance.

Using PRESTO Continuous Improvement, the

Premi digital frontier was assessed allowing for the
capture of critical know-how to be available to
revolutionise daily operations.
 The partnership

Premi CFO Vivien Charrey, also a Lean Master

Blackbelt who has been interviewed frequently in
Italian newspapers and radio for being one of the
first Lean 'pioneers' bringing lean methodologies to
business process management in Italy through his
boutique consulting firm ViC Advisory, reached out
to TOPP Tactical Intelligence seeking business
automation which would support his Lean program
already put in place at Premi Spa.

www.premispa.com
 Objectives
1. Identify methodologies of Lean Six Sigma currently being
used at Premi Spa which can be supported and automated
using TOPP TI's operational excellence, cloud-based, business
solution PRESTO

2. Identify additional areas of Lean methodology offered by the

PRESTO solution which can enrich Premi Spa's approach in
implementing Lean methodologies

3. Identify synergies in Premi's Lean methodology which allow

for additional product development opportunities in the
PRESTO business solution

4. Integrate PRESTO into Premi Spa's day-to-day continuous

improvement program to ensure a structured and robust
discipline of ongoing process waste-reduction amongst Premi
staff

 About PRESTO
PRESTO's original prototype was first launched as a stand-alone tool by a
TOPP Tactical Intelligence, Ltd.
group of Italian business professionals in collaboration with a local
university within a multinational financial organisation who had acquired
27 Old Gloucester Street, London
the complete back-office depository bank servicing arm of an Italian WC1N 3AX
industry leader providing services in mass volumes to Italian institutional
and private portfolio managers and investors. The opportunity to build
+39 351 221 4087
PRESTO presented itself during the restructuring phase of the two www.toppti.com
organisations when the vast differences between their managerial
cultures, operational know-how, language barriers and their business info@toppti.com
operating models indicated a strong need to utilise Lean methodologies
to measure and benchmark business processes, standardise best
practices and its terminology, become more transparent and
communicate change more effectively.

Since its launch, PRESTO has been further developed to include

additional idea cultivation features offered at a corporate-wide level
and has become a true instrument of organic innovation
