This business approach – which emphasizes continuous improvement across all aspects of the business by creating a culture where management and employees are invested in outcomes and empowered to implement change – raises the quality of both processes and products, enhances throughput, strengthens safety and improves profitability by establishing disciplined systems and a culture of continuous improvement.
What is less explored is how this same discipline can shape a more sustainable future for carbon black producers and, by extension, the tire and rubber industries.
