Looks like some great work!
It’s Day 3 of EBI’s 2024 CEO Kaizen. Our 9 teams, 100 leaders in 5 locations are in the thick of things! Our teams have grown significantly in their understanding of our opportunities. It’s fascinating to see data-driven learning! Having progressed through this week’s challenge, our teams are implementing and testing their improvements, training others in the process improvements, and developing visual management that will help sustain the gains. When work begins tomorrow to prepare final report-outs – which will be shared with EBI’s 2,200 employees around the world – I can’t help but marvel at the power of this year’s CEO Kaizen. The learning, collaboration, and growth in EBOS has been phenomenal! At our AFB location in Aurora, MO, our three kaizen teams are focused on improving our customer facing experience… lead time reduction, on-time delivery improvement and increased throughput of one of our process lines. We continue to try-storm our prioritized root causes at gemba where our teams are starting to see light at the end of the tunnel as our breakthrough countermeasures are tested. Our try-storming will lead to successful implementation and then ultimately our long-term sustainment. It has been an exciting week developing our skills and living our EBOS culture.

Thank you for your work EBAD!
It’s Day 2 of EBI’s 2024 CEO Kaizen. Our 9 teams, 100 leaders in 5 locations are off to a fantastic start! With training and pre-work behind us, our teams are deploying Ensign-Bickford-Operating-System methodologies to deeply understand current state, identify and prioritize breakthrough improvement opportunities, and test their hypotheses relating to root cause. It’s an incredible learning experience. The enthusiasm in the room is contagious! In Simsbury CT, our Kaizen team is focused on product differentiation and delivering more value to our customers. Today, we validated the root causes of gaps to our desired future state by going to Gemba, analyzing data, and prioritizing solutions. Undaunted by the infamous “valley of despair”, the team remains energized by what we can accomplish this week!

Looks like a great kick-off!
We’re off! It’s Day 1 of EBI’s 2024 CEO Kaizen. It’s an exciting day across EBI as we kick off this year’s event. 9 teams. 100 leaders. 5 locations. All laser-focused on learning and continuous improvement of our company’s most important opportunities. It doesn’t get much better than this! Behind the scenes, our teams have been hard at work for the past two months … defining current and future state, analyzing data, and refining problem statements and success metrics. As a Team member, I’m excited by the challenge and confident that we will all learn and grow in our Ensign-Bickford Operating System. Go teams! Today, our Teams in Portland, Maine USA and Durham UK have been refining their problem statements and pareto analyses to get to root cause. This step is critical to set the teams on the right path for the remainder of the week. Pre-work has been huge in helping the teams work efficiently. Next up is the breakthrough thinking to transform the way we are working. Excited for the week ahead!
