Commitment:

Primo Medical Group has shown its dedication to continuous improvement through company-wide formal training in lean manufacturing. More than just class time, each training event focuses on an actual Primo Medical Group process that can be improved through the reduction of non-value adding activities. Training events include:

• Introduction to lean manufacturing; an all-day class for all employees.
• Designing work cells for continuous flow.
• Set-up and changeover reduction.

Increasing the lean knowledgebase of our employees eliminates waste from our processes and creates the opportunity for our company to pass this value along to our customers in the form of increased quality, reduced lead-times and decreased prices.

Training Grant:

Primo Medical Group was awarded a grant from Commonwealth of Massachusetts for lean manufacturing and continuous improvement training.
