Topics covered by Oxoid - Thermo Fisher Scientific
Continuous Improvement
A structured programme of ?World Class Manufacturing? was introduced in 1999 and has been phased throughout the Operations group at a rate to match our abilities to support and facilitate the programme. Fundamental to our activities is the involvement of all staff . Continuous improvement is driven through performance measures linked to the company goals. Tools and techniques such as 5S, OEE and Asset care are used as appropriate. Our programme covers production, engineering maintenance, warehousing, customer services, purchasing and planning. We will share our learning and hope to gain knowledge from others going through similar improvement programmes.
Leadership
Arguably the most important basic skill required for the implementation of an improvement and change programme. Development of a Leadership behaviour template and training course. We will share our experiences in trying to encourage and maintain these behaviours.
Performance measurement
Development of a comprehensive set of performance measures to drive appropriate behaviour for Continuous Improvement. In order to link these measures with company goals a performance measure hierarchy was developed which is now used by all and shows how the performance of individual teams effects overall company performance.
