  • Boon Edam’s Constant Journey Toward Lean Manufacturing

    Lean manufacturing has become a buzzword in the production space over the last several years.
     
    Everyone wants to be the most productive. But, for Patrick Nora, President and Managing Director of Boon Edam Manufacturing USA, lean manufacturing as an ideal doesn’t matter if that productivity doesn’t follow on from safety and quality.
     
    “For us at Boon Edam, I wouldn’t say we are a lean manufacturing facility. I would say we are a facility that’s working toward lean manufacturing principles,” Nora said. “I think, for me, I define it as being on a journey, and it’s a goal that you will never achieve. You’re going after operational excellence with lean manufacturing process. It’s really important to view it that way, because lean manufacturing is building a learning culture.”

  • What It Takes to Join the ‘Iron Maiden of Security Companies’ with JC Powell

    What does a 147-year-old company have in common with a classic British metal band?

    It may seem far-fetched, but for JC Powell, Vice President of Sales Regional and National Accounts with Boon Edam USA, if his company were a band, there’s no doubt it would be Iron Maiden.

    There’s no Eddie the Head at Boon Edam, but the family culture and close-knit work groups make sure their employees and customers have plenty of peace of mind.

    “Boon Edam would be Iron Maiden, not because we have crazy, large, inflated heads that pop out behind screens, but, if you know anything about the band Iron Maiden, they are a large extended family. They travel together on a plane flown by the lead singer,” Powell said. “When you look at Boon Edam, from our president and managing director down, that same responsibility is taken. We view everybody as part of this family.”

    That family includes a number of Regional Sales Managers who have to create relationships and listen to customers to understand their needs.

    “What I’m really looking for in a potential candidate is somebody who is hungry, somebody who is humble, somebody who is a life learner, and somebody that is always curious, never complacent,” Powell said. “That goes back to the learning style and understanding, well, ‘Why did they buy my product?’”

    From there, the process becomes something that is replicable rather than a one-off. That’s how Boon Edam turned into a company that has plenty in common with a band that started in 1975 and is still rocking today.

  • Scalable Security: Wrong Decisions That Cost You Money with JC Powell & Brian Marshall
    Security is never a one-size-fits-all solution, and that's especially true for different types of building entrances, which have needs as unique as the companies themselves.
    On this episode of Entering Excellence, a Boon Edam podcast, host Shelby Skrhak sat down with Vice President of Sales JC Powell and Regional Sales Director Brian Marshall to discuss scalable security.
    "Companies are very different, even companies that offer similar goods or services to consumers," Powell said. "We never lump two companies as the same, even though they both may be data centers, financial or insurance companies."
    The concept of scalable security takes into account the unique needs businesses have for throughput, safety, technology and service. Boon Edam evaluates how people move through a client's building to better understand their needs.
    "How these companies exist within their own cultures really dictates what type of security entrance they would be interested in in order to promote and protect their assets," Powell said.
    Boon Edam helps companies educate their employees about the need and purpose of security entrances that both help keep their workforce safe inside and keep unauthorized visitors out.
    "We not only help companies implement the right security entrance, but we also help get their workforce to understand how to utilize that entrance," Marshall said. "Now you might think, 'What's so difficult about swiping a card at an entrance?' But we're helping promote employee education and communication long before the security entrance is implemented."
