Last week NITL delivered a workshop on the role of lean thinking in the supply chain to a group of staff at Alcon in Cork. This is part of NITL’s ongoing collaboration with the Leading Edge Group on the Lean Masters Green Belt in SCM.
Alcon's manufacturing facility in Cork is focused on delivering the world's leading intraocular lense (IOL), AcrySof®, to various countries around the globe. Alcon's AcrySof® lenses are implanted in six of every 10 cataract surgery patients worldwide.
