Exact Medical’s China operations are in holiday at this time celebrating the Lunar New Year and Spring Festival in anticipation of the coming Year of the Pig.
This ends the 2nd year that the Exact Medical’s fully owned Factory has been open, but it is the 10th year since Exact Medical was started as a business and it is the 40th year since I started doing business in China. A long time to be sure.
In celebration of the factories strong year end and anticipation of a dynamic year to come, a dinner and party was held and attended by our China Team Members – over 350 strong.
I am pleased to report, contrary to general management thinking in China, the EMM CN factory has successfully incorporated management methods and approaches that seamlessly have merged Western and Eastern Culture.
We have incorporated
Highly effective Quality and Regulatory Systems – attested by Regulatory Agencies and Customers Routine and Favorable Audits
Self-Managed Work Teams that clearly understand the Goals of the Team and achieve same without oversight
Synergy based compensation and reward systems that closely align the Goals of the Company with the Goals of the Team Member – Fostering a high energy, success driven operation.
These commitments and achievements have spawned significant rewards for our company. We can report in the last year we have secured business from more than 2 dozen new clients and have successfully developed over 50 new products.
While many pursue China for the reduction of cost to be achieved there, we are also fully committed to performance excellence which too reaps a strong reward.
In celebration of these achievements our team had quite the party.
Awards were given to the team members that demonstrated throughout the year the highest levels of performance and team leadership.
Different Teams provided entertainment and demonstrated significant skill in more that manufacturing product.
