Safety is a crucial aspect within the business and is one of the main elements of its EXCITE program, which is designed to help streamline processes.“ The EXCITE program is our internal continuous improvement framework, founded in the principals of lean manufacturing, focused on employee engagement, efficiency, and operational excellence,” elaborates Kristen.“ It encourages team members at all levels to identify improvement opportunities, reduce waste, and enhance safety and quality.
