Recently, Shearer’ s has implemented systems like SHOP, its main operating model, and MVP, which stands for Maximizing Value through Productivity. Pablo describes the benefits these systems provide and their practical applications:“ Our main operating model, SHOP, defines how we run our manufacturing operations. It represents our lean approach to manufacturing, guiding our operations every hour of every day in the manufacturing plant. Furthermore, it contributes to maintaining consistency across our organization. SHOP establishes the framework for our success and drives continuous improvement, starting with coaching on the floor. Every supervisor engages with employees three times per shift to discuss safety, ensure they have the necessary tools to work safely, and help them identify and address factors that could result in safety hazards.
“ SHOP also encourages our teams to maintain consistent quality, ensuring that the products we create are ones they would be willing to serve to their own families. 164
