injection moulding machines from 3 to 2 shifts, by means of line rebalancing, GSPH improvements and
Kaizen. This reduced the headcount by 7 members. Future activities will see further reductions of another 2

Kaizen activities. The total value of these savings equate to £260,000/annum. I have set up 7 step
