Rui Trindade, Moulding Department Senior Manager at Yazaki Saltano, Ovar, Portugal

“Our relationship with INESC TEC started in early 2015 with project YAZAKI PE – Delivery Planning Algorithm, which was the result of our need to plan our client orders better, mainly subcontracting orders.

I am quite experience in the domain of system implementation and IT problem solving, and I can say that the work we did INESC TEC was very positive. I would say that it was one of the few projects that started and were concluded within the deadline established, which is proof of the professionalism, commitment and dedication of the team involved. The response given by INESC TEC to our questions was always timely and adequate, which assuredly contributed to the project’s success.”

João Ferreira, Financial and Support Director at JPM – Automação e Equipamentos Industriais, S.A.

"We first started working with INESC TEC in 2012 when we identified the need to introduce operational improvements and to reduce wastes at JPM. Globally, the collaboration with INESC TEC has been extremely positive because it allowed us to reach a more competitive level of innovation and a privileged positioning in terms of state of the art technology.

The continuous collaboration with INESC TEC over the last years has also allowed us to introduce more efficient methodologies, not only on the shop floor, but also in the engineering, commercial and financial areas. This holistic approach has led to a significant evolution in our paradigm that is now leaner."

Pedro Bandeira, Director Product and Process Development at FLUPOL – SURFACE ENGINEERING, S.A.

"Our experience working with INESC TEC is very positive because by being an R&D institute, INESC TEC presents its clients with innovative and up-to-date perspectives. Their team is always open to new challenges. FLUPOL has a strong R&D component, and for that reason we believe INESC TEC is a very valuable and strategic partner, with which we have a strong relationship.

We at FLUPOL believe that when an opportunity arises for new projects, INESC TEC will be certainly taken into consideration because for us this partnership is strategic."
