CEIA Host Stryker Springhill Site Visit

Ken Murphy (Director, CareerWise) recently attended an event hosted by CEIA at Stryker Springhill.

“Great to see Stryker Springhill embracing Gemba and practical lean principles in their state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Carrigtwohill. They have really improved all performance metrics through visual charting, elimination of meetings and by focus of management on the shop floor”
