The company encourages all its employees to participate in a continuous improvement process and provides reasonable time and resources for suggestions, ideas and evaluations to be formulated in order that changes, modifications, additions or capital expenditure proposals can be fully evaluated prior to making a commitment.
Management undertakes to review suggestions for improvements promptly and thoroughly following which, a considered response is given.
All agreed improvements are implemented promptly and a post implementation review takes place to ensure that the improvement has been actioned and is working as was envisaged when agreed.
At DavyMarkham we are constantly seeking new opportunities to improve our quality, production and manufacturing processes whilst building and strengthening department and employee relationships.
We have a vast number of initiatives in place involving the building and ongoing personalised training of key personnel, management, supervisors and team leaders. This is recognised as a fundamental part of a successful Continuous Improvement Program as subsequently the knowledge is clearly communicated and implemented by all staff in various departments.
Throughout DavyMarkham there are several Continuous Improvement teams operating, each tasked with different goals to evaluate improvement methods within specified areas.
