AIM has made improvements to the work environment for the employees in the new factory, with environmental- ly controlled areas and improvements to breakrooms and restrooms. Evans said, “We focused on taking care of our employees so they can be proud of their work environment.” There will be continuous improvements made by assessing the use of space, machinery and people. To be truly effi- cient, companies need to have a holistic perspective. AIM is working to be more efficient and generate more capacity by using a smaller factory footprint and will be able to complete the same amount and complexity of work, through a realign- ment of processes.
