By Dan Gish, Director of Quality, PDI
The primary focus of the business for the past several years has been on building a “Better Mouse Trap”. Our Improvements to product Quality and Manufacturing throughput are a significant part of how we maintain our competitive edge. By placing the focus on individual jobs and determining what is critical to quality, as well as, identifying the opportunities we have to increase efficiency, are how we created this recipe for success.
PDI Management is dedicated to the continuous improvement initiative. They have invested greatly in the manufacturing facilities, equipment, and processes over the years. The focus now is on the Continuous Improvement of our work force through education and training.
A couple of months ago, at the Plastic Designs Connecticut Facility, a Certified Six Sigma Trainer was brought in to perform an overview for the Management personnel. Over the past 2 months this trainer has conducted two, Six Sigma for Plastic Injection Molders workshops.
“This Six Sigma concept is not ‘just’ about Statistical analysis of data; it is a mind set and a business motivator to maximize business success thru continuous improvement. This is the path we are continuing on.”
