Avon Group companies in drive for 6S success

Individual engineering and manufacturing businesses that sit within Avon Group are embracing 6S principles to create on-going improvements that are sure to boost each individual company’s productivity and competitiveness.

Firms across the business community are facing unprecedented challenges due to UK Government reforms and US President Donald Trump’s tough new tariff regime. But to rise to those challenges and find new ways to improve productivity, companies within Avon Group are enthusiastically responding and putting 6S principles into practice.

The ‘6S’ activity – sort, set in order, shine, sustain, standardise, safety – across plants will drive the company forward by ensuring even greater levels of safety, efficiency and continuous improvement whilst ensuring group companies such as Avon TSA, AER Maerdy, AGM Bristol and Foam Techniques operate at optimum levels.

Mark A. Rushin, Avon Group Director, said: “This is a time like no other for companies within the Avon Group family, but the way the team at our Group companies are engaging with our 6S principles is a sign of our commitment to improvement.

“We are all facing extraordinary challenges, but by working together and enthusiastically adopting the 6S principles, means we are in a great position to grow alongside each other and prosper on a long-term basis.

“The 6S principles are an important part of our overall growth strategy and that’s why I’m so delighted that they are being embraced with such professionalism as the small details count, and ultimately ensure we thrive together.”

“Plus, our own ‘Avon Way’ values of care, commitment, courtesy, responsibility and pride play an important role in creating improvement and a much better experience for our customers than our competitors. I feel proud to see these values and standards being upheld by all our people.”
