Two groups of ten employees from Smiley Monroe recently completed the NVQ Level 2 'Business Improvement Techniques' (BIT) Programme at Southern Regional College (SRC). The candidates came from a range of disciplines within the company - from export sales to manufacturing.
SRC has delivered a total of 9 improvement projects with companies across Northern Ireland since the beginning of November 2010. All projects have had significant cost benefits, and have seen cost savings ranging from £3000 to £20,000 per annum.
Declan McGrady, Operations Manager, Smiley Monroe, comments:
"Post downturn, the BIT Programme has kept the focus on Continuous Improvement at all levels within the company. It has facilitated the development of our valued team members, whilst helping them to realise their potential and benefit the company. SRC's highly qualified trainers have provided the appropriate amount of teaching, guidance and support to help plan and implement improvement projects - resulting in real cost savings for Smiley Monroe."
