    An Award-Winning Journey of Improvement with Paul Hayward at CooperVision

    An Award-Winning Journey of Improvement with Paul Hayward at CooperVision

    This isn't just a conversation; it's a masterclass in building a culture of Continuous Improvement.  Join us as we delve into the remarkable transformation at leading contact lens manufacturer CooperVision, and how Senior CI Engineer Paul Hayward led his team to success at the BQF UK Excellence Awards as they took home the prestigious Excellence in CI Culture award.

    We begin at the start of their journey, as Paul talks candidly about the challenge of producing a staggering 12 million batches of one unit, in their made-to-order department every month.  This put pressure on lead times, whilst needing to maintain quality and reliability, all in a highly regulated environment.  Skip forward three years, and the initial targets have been exceeded 7-fold.  Quick to credit the dedication and hard work of the entire team, Paul explains that from the boardroom to the shop floor, the mantra has been to “work smarter, not harder”.

    It’s about empowering people to challenge the status quo and creating a culture where problem-solving at every level becomes an opportunity for progress and innovation.  And their journey is far from over; with a “Trident Wall” to keep the fire for improvement burning bright, the culture of improvement at CooperVision is thriving.  This is a powerful example for organisations everywhere, showing that with the right mindset and commitment, a culture of Continuous Improvement can lead to exceptional results.
