CULTIVATING A CULTURE OF CONTINUOUS IMPROVEMENT
Now in its tenth year, our IOPS group’s Simple Logical Improvements Matter (SLIM) program fosters our culture of continuous improvement and encourages colleagues to find ways to improve quality, safety and efficiency. For the third consecutive year, 100 percent of IOPS colleagues participated in the program. Altogether, they identified and implemented more than 4,300 improvements.
During our 2022 SLIMMY year-end celebration, we honored 10 improvements that significantly impacted IOPS processes and operations, including a new visual aid to streamline bulk packaged vial count checks and the introduction of cleanroom waste containers to reduce the risk of safety incidents related to the movement of chemical waste.
