Deluxe Corporation Launches 114 Lean Process Improvements that Deliver Fabulous Results 

Deluxe

In today's fiercely competitive economic climate, more organizations are adopting a Lean philosophy -- focusing only on those activities that add value; eliminating processes that don't.

Among those organizations completely dedicated to the Lean philosophy is Deluxe Corporation, a growth engine for small business and financial institutions. "We train both employees on the production floor and all levels of leadership on basic Lean concepts and tools," explains Amy Faymoville, manager of In-House Services in Arden Hills, MN. "Employees take ownership in suggesting and implementing process improvements."

Bangor's In-Plant Helps Launch New Branding Image
Business CardsTo elevate the city of Bangor, Maine's visibility statewide and beyond, a new branding image is being launched and its in-plant is working quietly behind the scenes to help. "We will be working closely with the Community and Economic Development Departments and our sign shop, along with a little outside help, to create this new look," explains Walter Ryan, Print Shop Production Technician. "Already the new business cards are being printed, and we are awaiting the final approval of the new letterhead design." All the work, from sign design to creation, promotions and marketing, will be done by city employees.
 
Take IPMA's Compensation Survey--Get Results FREE

e-mailed a personalized survey link. If you did not receive yours, contact ipmainfo@ipma.org 
Be sure to print out and review the questions before beginning. Upper in-plant management would be the most knowledgeable to fill out the survey. Please forward this information on to nonmember in-plant colleagues.  Survey deadline is November 1.
