Conception of a methodology for measuring the success of building blocks

At Magna Powertrain, the introduction of the so-called "Cross Functional Building Blocks" began in 2020. The building block organization was successfully implemented in 2021. Numerous initiatives have already been launched and savings and recycling potential has been exploited. However, until the start of the project, the cooperation partner had suspected potential for improvement in the methodology for measuring the contributions to success.

Students on the 2020 Master's degree program developed a practical concept for the methodology of measuring the economic contributions to the success of building blocks. The concept is based on the Savage-Niehans principle, Bayes' rule, a benefit portfolio tailored to Magna Powertrain and the half-life concept. The concept was implemented in MS Excel.
