We strive through our daily activity to continuously improve the safety of our working environment.
We understand our customer needs and make realistic commitments to meet them. Corporate planning through the Policy Deployment Process will set common goals
and communicate our business aims. We manage with a long term view whilst meeting our short term commitments. We will invest in, and build the capability of our people and organization to deliver our
vision. We want our people to know what is expected of them. Their performance is reviewed
and development is encouraged. Our processes are aligned against the principles of pull and smoothing, aligned to
customer based takt time. We build quality into our processes to avoid creating or passing on defects. We use standardization as our foundation for continuous improvements supported by
visual management to expose problems and highlight opportunities. We “Go and See” to learn and to understand our opportunities for improvements. We share best practice and communicate our ideas to eliminate waste across the
value chain. All our decisions are data driven and guided by our principles.
