Production Concentric’s 

Business activities are divided by region, with full earnings and balance sheet responsibility at both regional and plant levels. Every plant has a local manager who assumes earnings responsibility for the entire range of plant operations. Concentric differentiates between engine production lines with higher volumes and hydraulic production lines with lower volumes. The production lines with higher volumes have a cellular structure that utilises automatic or semi-automatic no-fault forward methods for the production of single items, or only a few varieties. The production lines with lower volumes have a production channel structure based on a group method that supports sales of smaller production batches of similar products.
