LEAN
PROCESS

With efficiency and quality at the core of our production process, VOLUMETRIC™ adopts a lean approach to manufacturing. We identify opportunities for improvement and act on them in order to provide enhanced value for our clients. Our lean processes allow us to achieve consistency and reliability in quality and performance while only using the exact materials required which, in turn, leads to low embodied carbon results.

5S SYSTEM

Our total quality management approach – creating a climate of continuous improvement within our specialist multi-skilled team and quality control systems, underpinned by rigorous inspection procedures – has been established to help us achieve our objective for zero defects. Adopting the principles of 5S (Sort, Set in Order, Shine, Standardise, and Sustain), we recognise that a World Class Manufacturing process needs to take place in a world class manufacturing environment, and 5S supports a culture of perpetual improvement.
