Following a meeting held this month they report on the important progress made by the cluster group that hopes to see all of them recognised within the SC21 programme in the near future.
Although each individual company develops their continuous sustainable improvement plan (CSIP) independently, they collaboratively review and share best practice over a number of workshops throughout a 12 month period. This month sees the finalisation of the Manufacturing Excellence part of the SC21 programme.
“The collaborative working ethic we have adopted ensures that we can learn from each other to provide an overall better service,” stated Atlas Composites' managing director, Shaun Moloney. “Our individual performances are put forward on to the SC21 website which can then be tracked. The progress workshops help us with each step of the process, the next step for us being the completion of the Value Stream Mapping.”
Derbyshire-based Atlas Composites currently hold a Bronze position for Delivery On Time In Full (98%) and is aiming next for Silver. The MAA who lead and facilitate the group welcome initiatives such as SC21 as it differentiates companies from the rest of the chasing pack. The four other companies within the East Midlands cluster are: Paul Fabrications, Chemring Defence UK, CVI Laser and SL Engineering.
