CeeD has created a range of videos, with support from Scottish Enterprise and Highlands and Islands Enterprise, showcasing how manufacturing companies in Scotland have grown or improved business processes through investing in Continuous Improvement.
The ambition of the Scottish Government is for Scotland to become the home of manufacturing innovation, to be seen as an inventor and producer, not just a consumer of goods – innovative, thriving and international looking. The aim of these videos is to share success stories and inspire companies to be part of a strong manufacturing sector to help drive Scotland’s economic recovery and future prosperity.
