​"Continuous Improvement is a philosophical and methodological approach to business that strives to provide ever-increasing value to the customer through total employee involvement in the reduction of non-value added wastes and their associated costs. Continuous improvement is not about the things you do well - that's work. Continuous improvement is about removing the things that get in the way of your work. The headaches, the things that slow you down, that's what continuous improvement is all about."
                                                                                - Bruce Hamilton, President

Award-Winning Lean Training Aids

Lean Manufacturing Principles for continuous improvement
"GBMP's Lean videos are an integral part of our CI training program. They're a great tool for training everyone from Lean Champions to craft employees. As a facilitator, it makes my job easier to present the tools from a different perspective, and it's more fun for my audience." Jim G., Manager, Process Improvement, Union Pacific Railroad

Workshops, Networking & Benchmarking

​Our specially designed workshops and Lean and Six Sigma certificate courses, as well as GBMP's  annual Northeast L.E.A.N. Conference, plant tours, seminars and webinars reflect our philosophy that the process of acquiring knowledge is best done through tacit learning, so almost all of GBMP training events divide the day between classroom learning and "shop-floor" implementation of concepts learned in the classroom.  Our Lean Certificate course is aligned with the Nationally Recognized SME Lean Certification program and we are an educational affiliate of The Shingo Institute with four certified instructors on our team.
