"We have redefined the organisation at Iveco to create a leaner, more efficient structure, clarifying roles and reducing operating overheads, in order to reach the ambitious profitability targets that we have set ourselves for the future, said Iveco CEO Paolo Monferino in a statement. "The goal of our organisation is to make the most of our skills and leadership, with a team whose roles and responsibilities are defined more clearly. Iveco is a single organization in which it is clear who designs, who produces and who sells. We have defined a product development process that focuses on the voice of the customer, introducing multifunction platforms in which the skills related to the identification of customer requirements and the development of profitable, state-of-the-art solutions are of prime importance.

"We have also created two important new functions that support our core business: Customer Satisfaction & Quality and Supply Chain. The aim of the first is to improve customer satisfaction and to guarantee a constant improvement in quality, and that of the second to optimise the management of the distribution chain as a whole, improving the level of efficiency and reliability at every stage. I am convinced that this team has the skill, personality and enthusiasm needed to take on the best international competition and to help Iveco make the quality leap necessary to position the company stably among the leaders in its sector," he concluded.
