Welcome to the Dec. 9 edition of IndustryWeek's Continuous Improvement newsletter. This week we share the latest Behind the Curtain: Adventures in Continuous Improvement podcast episode, where the hosts are working their way through Dr. W. Edwards Deming's 14 points for management transformation.
In addition, I am again sharing the stories of our 2025 IW Best Plants Award winners. We announced four winners earlier this year. This CI newsletter issue includes two of the winners' stories—Pullmatic Mfg. Magna Powertrain in Markham, Ontario, Canada, and Intertape Polymer Group Inc., Tremonton, Utah. In next week's issue we'll revisit the remaining two 2025 IW Best Plants winners.
And as we near the end of 2025, I'd like to remind our readers: I'm always looking for continuous improvement stories to tell, either to share a lesson learned or inspire another company in their improvement efforts. If there is a company you'd like me to reach out to, or a continuous improvement thought leader I should interview, please let me know. I'd very much like to hear from you.
