Your Role and Responsibilities

The Lean Challenge is an 18‑year initiative that began at our Saltillo site with the goal of strengthening our connection with universities, attracting new talent, and giving students a hands‑on introduction to the manufacturing world. At the same time, the program was designed to promote a strong culture of continuous improvement within our operations.

Since then, the Lean Challenge has evolved into an international competition where ideas, practices, and improvements are shared across ABB. It brings together students, divisions, and teams, creating an environment that develops talent and drives meaningful improvements to our business.

Through Continuous Improvement Projects based on Quality Wins and Lean Manufacturing principles, participants gain real experience while contributing to impactful results.

The program is open to university students in their final semesters, with conversational English skills and strong presentation abilities.
