At the beginning of the economic downturn Starbank invested heavily in training staff in the principles of Lean Manufacturing to ensure the business was in the best position possible to weather the tough conditions. The knowledge that was embedded in the staff during that training ensured that from 2009 onwards we have consistently improved our competitiveness of offer in the market place whilst increasing profit margins to ensure a secure future for our customers and staff.
In the first 4 months of 2012 Starbank has seen considerable growth in sales and we have once again taken the decision to invest in our best resource ‘the knowledge of our staff’ by undertaking further Lean training to ensure we maintain our competitive edge, even as sales grow.
Every efficiency saving that can be achieve through the reduction of waste makes us more competitive and more profitable ensuring a secure future for all stakeholders.
