George Donaldson outlines Newsprinters' lean transformation journey over 5 years from 2010-2015. The company implemented Total Productive Manufacturing (TPM) across its sites in phases, with workshops to train staff. It also introduced visual standards, 5S practices, audits at all levels, and the Shingo Prize methodology. As a result, Newsprinters improved environmentally and operationally, winning numerous awards as both a lean manufacturer and green company. It became the first in the UK to win the prestigious Shingo Prize in 2014.
