ness,” he says. “For Continuous Improvement to work, change needs to be seen as a good thing, which requires an initial shift in thinking for many employees.” Thanks to successful Continuous Improvement adop- tion over the last decade, today Acme Corrugated Box employees at every level routinely seek ways to reduce wasted time, material, and energy. “We use the acronym D.O.W.N.T.I.M.E to remind us of what might be impeding efficiency – that is, Defects, Over- production, Waiting, Not utilizing talent, Transportation, In- ventory excess, Motion, and/or Excess processing,” Cohen explains. In terms of company structure, Acme Corrugated Box’s Continuous Improvement department works hand-in-hand with the Quality Assurance Department. Both fall under the umbrella of Operational Excellence. “While Continuous Improvement is focused primarily on run efficiencies, Quality Assurance is focused on creating a good product and getting it to end users every time,” Co- hen says. “It’s yet another winning combination. Together, these departments ensure the best possible product, and the best possible process for creating it.” If you want to see examples of the high-quality prod- ucts created by Acme Corrugated Box’s Continuous Im- provement initiatives, visit the company’s comprehensive website at acmebox.com .
