"We are delighted to have successfully gained SC21 Bronze accreditation for the fifth year running which demonstrates our commitment to this important quality standard in the sectors in which we operate," comments Vince Light, Managing Director at Stadium IGT. "In the last five years, SC21 has helped us to process map and develop a platform to implement improvements throughout our business and in the supply chain. In 2011 our delivery performance within a 7 day window was at 96% we now stand at 99.9% within a 3 day window. Our quality performance stood at 98% we can now boast 99.7%.

Efficiency Unleashed: Breaking Down Lean and Six Sigma

At the time, GM had a terrible reputation for producing poor quality cars that were dwindling in popularity. I toured the GM plant while in elementary school.

I remember seeing the car pieces on the line, and workers using blow torches to assemble the car together.
