ABSTRACT

If a company chooses to consolidate first and standardize thereafter, as was the case

with GM, then the sequencing of the phases and the content will vary a little. Our

phasing is based on the ‘standard case’. In a strongly consolidation-driven approach,

the activities inside Phases Two and Three will be mixed and carried out in the order

best suited to the company. This will not change the fact that all content will be

relevant as work packages, possibly with differing weighting though.
