management philosophy
The best way to ensure organizational success is to delight the customer.
A company which does not meet or exceed its customers' needs is likely to
lose business to a competitor who does; today's customers want
responsiveness, low cost and high quality. Trust and integrity are key to
success on all fronts. Management and all employees must actively seek
growth and improvement. Systems and processes must support as well as
drive initiative. The work environment must be structured so that people
work without fear, within a culture that encourages pride in both personal
and organizational accomplishments.
