The Efficient Workplace
Posted via Industry Today. Are you into it? Follow us on Twitter @IndustryToday
Applying 'Lean' principles to help Health & Safety managers do their jobs more effectively will be the major focus for KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* at the forthcoming IOSH 2013 trade show.
Exhibiting on Stand B60, KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* will highlight the benefits of its Efficient Workplace programme, which has been designed to help companies in a range of industries eliminate hazards and strip out waste from their operations while enhancing their performance in the process.
At IOSH 2013, which takes place at London's ExCel on 26-27 February 2013, KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* will demonstrate to visitors how The Efficient Workplace initiative can help Health & Safety professionals achieve their objectives by highlighting the optimum way to select, dispense, use and store equipment and supplies in industrial environments.
Guided by well-established 'Lean' business principles, The Efficient Workplace is targeted at companies in the automotive, aerospace, food processing and metal manufacturing sectors.
The programme begins with a visit from a knowledgeable and experienced KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* account manager, who will take the time to conduct a waste walk around the customer's facility in order to gain a full understanding of their specific processes and priorities. During this site assessment, the account manager will advise Health & Safety representatives on any areas where there may be inefficiency or potential hazards and suggest targeted counter-measures.
Having identified waste within a customer's processes, the account manager is able to recommend specific products and services that are designed especially for the particular needs of the company in question.
Alison Cook, End User Marketing Manager UK, Ireland & Benelux at KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL*, said: "At the heart of The Efficient Workplace programme is the principle that an efficiently-run business is a safe business, and a safe business is an efficient business. It's a unique approach that will enable Health & Safety professionals demonstrate to their colleagues and management just how valuable health & safety is in the profitable running of an industrial business."
She continued: "The programme helps companies identify hazards and waste and root them out using targeted, tailored solutions. It's a unique approach to maximising safety and profitability based on finding the right solution for each individual company. It is about identifying the appropriate and most effective industrial supplies for a situation - not simply the cheapest. Further, once the right solution is in place, we have the service capabilities to help our customers drive and maintain full compliance. In this way we can advise them on the best way to get a job done safely."
KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* offers Health & Safety managers full support at every stage, providing helpful and discreet advice as required. At the core of The Efficient Workplace are Lean principles that have been tried and tested over the past 100 years.
Alison Cook added: "Although increasing efficiency is already a major focus for our customers, when we talk to them they often tell us that it really helps to have a second pair of credible eyes to spot areas where further improvement is possible. It saves them time, effort and - ultimately - money. It's a great way of helping industrial manufacturers achieve their targets in their health & safety processes."
She added: "We speak our customers' language, and our account managers - who all have industry knowledge - use a highly consultative approach to identifying waste and hazards and suggesting ways to reduce or eliminate them. At KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* we have used Lean principles in our own manufacturing processes for years, so we are steeped in experience and committed to helping our customers benefit, too."
The Efficient Workplace programme has been developed as part of the KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* brand promise to help all its customers create 'Exceptional Workplaces'.
"Exceptional Workplaces is our vision for the future - a vision that is focused on delivering products and services that create workplaces that are healthier, safer and more productive," said Alison Cook. "The Efficient Workplace programme is one of the key platforms we have developed to enable us to achieve this mission. We look forward to meeting Health & Safety professionals at IOSH 2013 to tell them more about how this ground-breaking initiative could make their workplace a safer and more productive place."
IOSH 2013 is the trade show of the Institution of Occupational Safety and Health. It takes place at London's ExCel from 26-27 February 2013. KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* will exhibit on stand B60.
