Infosession: Continuous Improvement - Dartmouth

Improve quality, lower costs, and enhance operations with continuous improvement. 

Continuous improvement training can help your business close the gap between current and true maximum capacity. Hear from some local processors and manufacturers, including Canadian Blood Services (CBS) and SureShot Solutions about how continuous improvement has improved their business capacity.

Why CBS? Canadian Blood Services is committed to fostering a culture of continuous improvement. Several years ago, we entered into a formal partnership with Toyota and adopted many of the tenets of the widely admired Toyota Production System. As a result of this collaboration, we have seen measurable improvements in manufacturing quality, productivity, safety and service. While we began focused on specific areas of our business, we are now working to spread this change throughout our organization.
