Welcome to GBMP, the official website of the Greater Boston Manufacturing Partnership! Since 1994, we have provided training and consulting services to thousands of organizations from manufacturing, healthcare, and service. Focusing on the continuous improvement tools and philosophy from Lean and Six Sigma, our mission is to help our community of members become increasingly competitive in the global marketplace. All of our consultants come from industry and have decades of experience helping organizations create strong improvement cultures and compelling results. We’re problem-solvers, adept on the floor as well as the board room. We can work with you face to face at your site, or we can train and consult virtually to bring consistent learning to your organization. We’d love to hear from you.
GBMP President, Bruce Hamilton, explains the GBMP approach to creating a team of exceptional problem solvers. Check out his terrific blog, The Old Lean Dude.
