Lean webinar
8. Webinar Greencore
Here, we capture in quotes a snapshot of lean, green and ethical manufacturing and evaluation systems from each of our four panellists
Louise Nicolls, M&S: “M&S has stringent entry requirements to do business with us. Those included: integrity audits, food safety audits, ethical audits and specific audits for the farming sector.”
“We wanted to prove to suppliers we would recognise and reward those facilities with leading standards.”
Helen Sisson, Greencore: “One of our key aims, which is encapsulated in The Greencore Way, is to maximise our business effectiveness through operating as a lean enterprise right across the supply chain.”
“The Lean Environment programme has been developed to deliver a targeted, structured approach to environmental performance improvement across the Greencore Group.”
Jeremy Praud, partner at Lauras International: “Working together with the auditor for mutual benefit is vital. But the ultimate goal is to ‘go beyond compliance’ with the audit to make sustainable improvement that helps grow the business.”
“Championing lean and green within the organisation, engagement and ownership are critical to success and sustainability.”
Simon Spanyol, FMCG improvement specialist: “Engage people – use your whole workforce for improvement. Encourage ownership through measures, appraisals and agreed targets. Give them the tools and enough time to solve problems.”
