With widespread operations such as ours , it is important to remain informed of shared best practice
view is critical . The UK excels in engineering and innovation across many sectors and medical equipment is one of them . All the operational departments rely on each other as stakeholders in delivering a world-class product . A full team building program , through practical workshops at senior management level , has galvanized the team , set high standards , and solidified the values and behaviors which will drive operational excellence . I ’ m very proud of the guiding principles and inspirational leadership we ’ ve managed to cultivate .
“ Tactical projects such as consignment stocking models , Kanban systems , and data collection have smoothed out the manufacturing process , allowing non-value add activity to be identified and tackled accordingly by the new manufacturing engineering department . Improved communication to the workforce around the long-term manufacturing strategy , ongoing capital investments , and a new , streamlined structure make it a very exciting time to be working for Drive DeVilbiss ,” details Richard .
Not only is Drive DeVilbiss ’ manufacturing process strategically streamlined , it ’ s also sustainable . As Richard reveals : “ With widespread operations such as ours , it is important to remain informed of shared best practice . This is ensured through our internal Green Team , a group of staff from all areas of the business whose aim is to ensure we identify best practice and implement it effectively in ways that match operations in that area .
