Recent Event Highlights

27 June 2018 - Operational Readiness for Major Change & Lean 1 Year On - Coca-Cola Amatil WA

”The process of managing the building projects from start to finish was flawless. The amount of effort that went in to identify and winning support from their informal leaders was also fantastic. It was humbling for me to see their self-reflection toward current growth in their journey, and this self-reflection will be a stepping stone for further growth. The continued engagement of employees toward 5S utilized excellent methods to achieve a positive business outcome. Overall the factory looked clean and employees were courteous and engaged. The presentation was excellent. 

I wanted to say thanks to CCA for having us. I look forward to us sharing further ideas with each other”.

Asnus Smith, State Productions Manager - BlueScope Building Components

It was great to be able to go through the process of VSM with the SealedAir team as well as all the other participants and see the theory put into practice on one of their production processes. The whole team was willing to share their process and production concerns with us and were very open to improvement suggestions."
