Holding the Gains A case study |
Including a case study presentation from Derek Cochrane, Engineering Specialist at 3M's Newton Aycliffe site
 |
One of the key road blocks to year on year improvement is the impact of organisational change. When key managers move on, often their initiatives wither. The improvement processes at 3M at Newton Aycliff e have become so ingrained that when, following a change of CEO, the organisation embraced Six Sigma and then Lean, the TPM process introduced in 1995, was retained and enhanced. Through this, they have signifi cantly increased their site wide performance over each of the last thirteen years.
Derek Cochrane of 3M Aycliffe will present examples from their improvement process. We have asked Derek to set out the key stages in their development and how they contributed to the 3M Aycliffe success story.

Session 4:
Moving Beyond the
Shop Floor |
– defining and delivering the future operation Nick Rich, Cardiff Business School at Cardiff
University |
| |
A key ingredient of delivering long term
improvement is the extension of Continuous
Improvement beyond the shop floor. Aligning goals, breaking down barriers between functions and providing the underpinning systems for high performance is an important competence. This topic will be covered by Nick Rich of Cardiff University Business School.
Nick, a founding member of the Lean Enterprise Research Centre (LERC), was fortunate enough to hold one of the elite Toyota Motor Company Research Fellowships (Japan). Working in Japan with Toyota and its family of suppliers he witnessed some remarkable improvement and engineering achievements despite their 50+ years of kaizen. Nick has a passion to deliver practical solutions for industry and he has directed much of his energy into working within organisations to gain an insight of how to translate Toyota’s success in delivering sustained improvement into other sectors.
