About GBMP:
What is Continuous Improvement?
Continuous Improvement connects your employees to your customers by finding and eliminating non-value-added activities, those things the customer doesn’t want to pay for, in all areas of your business. The key to success is the understanding that Continuous Improvement is all about people. Your employees are in the best position to identify and solve all the little problems that are manifested throughout your business processes. Given a little education and the proper support and encouragement, employees can find and eliminate all the headaches and time anchors that currently prevent you from delighting your customers.
Continuous Improvement is about creating an environment where employees can make changes that allow them to spend more time on those things your customers want to pay for!
Take a moment to think about your facility as you read the following seven forms of waste:

GBMP’s goal is to educate, empower and energize your people and change the way they think and work to strive to eliminate the seven forms of waste from your processes!
