World Class Business

Boddingtons are committed to providing outstanding products and services to all its customers. This requires more than just commitment. It must be supported with a structured improvement program that utilizes the skills and experience of all its members.

Our improvement program uses proven tools and techniques developed by Toyota that are being used by successful companies worldwide. It is known as World Class Business, or W.C.B.

The tools and techniques of W.C.B are implemented into every department within Boddingtons. Our aim is the elimination of all waste.

Listed below are methods used in identifying a problem and applying the correct module;

  • 5’s – Improving, Workshop & Office organisation.
  • Kaizen – Tapping into the skills and experience of all our team members.
  • S.M.E.D – The dramatic reduction of set up times.
  • T.P.M – Total productive maintenance.
  • Just in time - A smooth continuous flow of product.

All of the above help us meet the demands of our customers. Becoming a world-class business is a ‘state of mind: not a criticism’. As soon as people become content, they stop looking for improvements.

We need to constantly remind ourselves of this message.

There will be many changes to the way in which we carry out our daily activities but the changes will be recommended, and implemented, by the members that do the job (the experts). Our aim will be to make the company more successful (stronger), more efficient (healthy), and more profitable (secure).
