Dunlop Precision focuses on manufacturing efficiency
Keywords Dunlop, Aircraft industry, Business
Dunlop Precision Rubber, manufacturer of elastomeric seals for aircraft, has completed a major reorganisation of its business designed to focus on operating efficiency, cost-down and continuous improvement.
The business redesign process has been supported by Vector Management Consultants and covers the company's two manufacturing sites at Shepshed and Bagworth, Leicestershire. The previous three business units have been replaced by an integrated structure with all operational functions reporting to a newly appointed operations manager, while commercial, design, product development and sales functions will report to the business development manager.
