Continuous Improvement at Astrak UK

At Astrak UK, we’re proud to be the Best on Earth, but we never stop striving for excellence.

That’s why we recently invited Gerry, Stephen, and Bernard from the Scottish Manufacturing Advisory Service (SMAS) to our Kirkcaldy HQ to train our warehouse and logistics staff in the Lean Six Sigma problem solving methodology.

Lean Six Sigma is a comprehensive 5-step approach to problem solving that combines the philosophies of Six Sigma and Lean to identify and reduce process variation and optimize flow. Through this approach, we are able to ensure that we are creating the best possible customer experience at all times.
