We have a culture we've created at Linamar that is absolutely devoted to continuous improvement. We go out and look for waste in our business every single day, and every day we find something. That's not because we're fat and not lean. It's because there's always something there. Technology is always evolving. There's always something new—some new kind of tooling, some new type of processing, some new type of material—that we can incorporate. Trying to create that kind of culture is critical to creating the kinds of productivity improvements we've been able to make.
As Jim has said, trying to create a manufacturing strategy that is centred around that, and through which we can teach some of these techniques and tools to our business and our government, is a critical element.
