Continue to improve

Our comprehensive manufacturing line transfer process includes a built-in continuous improvement program that guides our team in identifying, implementing, and evaluating opportunities for vertical integration, cost reductions, labor efficiency, scrap, and other improvements. We leverage our engineers from multiple teams across our Centers of Excellence on your behalf.

High-level outputs

• Identify process improvement team members and leader
• Confirm and update the continuous improvement plan
• Evaluate equipment, tooling, methods, and overall process for waste and potential improvements
• Implement improvements with appropriate approvals
• Identify vertical integration opportunities for cost improvement opportunities
• Monitor performance metrics
• Perform quarterly business reviews (or other frequency that you prefer)

Results
We follow the continuous improvement plan and make recommendations. The Tech Transfer team must review metrics and recommendations and approve plans for improvement.

Tools
We use a detailed process—with checklists and forms, following established standard operating procedures and ISO requirements—to continue to make ongoing improvements.
