Privilege catamarans has makeover under Hanse ownership
The stylish French catamarans are already benefitting from the takeover and lean production processes of Hanse YachtsHanseYachts AG has ramped up its production of its Privilege catamarans, a sister brand that was recently taken over and brought 'in-house' to benefit from the yacht maker's lean-manufacturing processes.
"In the last year, we have completely restructured the production at Privilege and implemented a lean, quality-driven assembly line," said HanseYachts AG CEO Dr Jens Gerhardt.
"Our experts have defined seven production phases and installed quality gates that ensure best build quality.
"We now have one of the most professional production lines in the catamaran business, with short lead times and a total quality management approach to decrease defect rates during production.
With the focus on owners' yachts, rather than charter boats, Privilege is being built with the same philosophy as Hanse Yachts, thereby allowing similar approaches at both shipyards.
Gilles Wagner CEO of Privilege, said the takeover by HanseYachts AG was a great opportunity for the company and future owners. Privilege has a new marketing design and a brand-new website.
