I was excited to meet up and hear all about her exciting news. When I got there Julian looked like she hadn’t slept in weeks or showered for days. 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;“What wrong.” I blurted out as soon as I saw her.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;“Everything.” She shook her head.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;I had known Julian for years and had attended every single celebration she hosted when she managed yet another boost up her career ladder. First, there was the potluck celebrating her move from accounting intern to full-time employee. Making area manager was lunch at the Olive Garden restaurant. Claiming the title of Director was dinner at the trendy new restaurant. And now, the Senior VP title meant a catered dinner party at her new luxury apartment on the 17th floor overlooking the city.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;“I am quitting," Julian said. Her penetrating stare advertised fear.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;“What," I stammered. Her haggard appearance suddenly seemed very serious.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;“Help me!”&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Honestly, my first reaction was to laugh. I mean, laugh right out loud. I bit my tongue. It's that devastating Death Line again, I thought. It is what I call suffocating fear. A deathlike is our worse fears and we will do anything to keep that fear from becoming a reality.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;We all have death line that hold us prisoner. Julian’s was Deathlike was, fear of failing. Once we let our death line take hold it highjacks us, all hope of creative or rational thinking goes out the door. It’s squelches our ability to think, ask penetrating questions or problem solve. We simply revert to our worse behavior: shutting down, become angry, racked with fear, irrational, etc. etc. etc.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://btoes.com"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Before I started helping leaders and organizations build Innovation Labs or develop Innovation Teams, I would have been shocked to see my friend in this condition. Not anymore. And it's not because I've lost faith in leaders, but because we live in such complex, uncertain, and volatile situations, that our Death Lines have increased in intensity and have become aggressively so. Unmanaged Death Line cause us to operate on instinct to self-preserve. Our body is telling us to RUN, and not in the direction of innovation.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Now that you know about the Death Line, do something about it. I found four simple yet powerful words helpful in managing our Death Lines: 4 ACEs: Space, Grace, Pace, and Place (you can spot ACE in each word that stands for Always Create Engagement). The 4 ACEs act as psychological breaks helping us pause and think. We tend to rush into problem solving, believing the faster we work or solve problems the better. This is usually not helpful. Said another way, these 4 ACE words are a bulwark against our Death Lines so we can keep our creative self-alive and well.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;br&gt;Here is the 4 ACEs and their Probes:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;Space – As in mental space –Have I committed to creating new mental space for learning?&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;Grace – Have I committed to understanding the real challenge so I can extend Grace to solve the problem.&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;Pace – Do I understand the problem well enough to apply the best pace is needed to solve this challenge or run this project.&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;Place – What is the best place to solve this challenge - a physical space or a virtual space?&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The next time you are in dangerous waters, Pause, breath and then strap on the Life Line of my 4 ACE 4 Probe approach to defeat your death lines and become the innovator and creative problem solver you long to be.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Flex&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;As a global supply chain solutions and manufacturing company, Flex specializes in innovative design, engineering, manufacturing, real-time supply chain insight and logistics services. Flex provides a variety of solutions to customers in a range of industries, including automotive, cloud, communications, consumer, home &amp;amp; lifestyle, energy, and industrial, among others.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Center of Excellence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With a global presence, the company selected its Milpitas, California site to pilot a center of excellence initiative in the form of a customer innovation center. Located in Silicon Valley, where time-to-market is critical, the team manages a dynamic set of customers in various stages of the product lifecycle.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;In 2012, Milpitas developed a customer innovation center to support a broad portfolio of customers and products, spanning network devices, capital equipment, energy products and wearables, among others. To help customers launch products faster and capture market share, the team strengthened capabilities with the innovation center. Through the addition, the site provides accelerated prototype-to-mass production time and flexible supply chain solutions at a high quality and competitive price.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The Milpitas site must adapt to dynamic changes and focus on continuous improvement to help meet financial objectives and deliver value for all stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With the support of local management, the Business Excellence (BE) team drives transformation using Lean-Six Sigma methods for continuous improvement. The Flex Lean Enterprise (FLE) is based on the Toyota Production System, which applies Lean tools sequentially to eliminate waste and create value for customers. The Milpitas BE team’s efforts include facilitating a campus evolution from a manufacturing site to include a customer innovation center. Faster time to market and accelerated prototype build requires efficient resource management, business processes innovation and cross-functional collaboration with design, manufacturing and supply chain teams.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The Milpitas team, along with other Flex sites, strive to double the good, half the bad with triple the speed and sustain.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://insights.btoes.com/final-case-studies-2020"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;Achievements&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;/div&gt; 
&lt;div class="blog-post-text-content"&gt; 
 &lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Read this article about G-CON Manufacturing Inc., Best Achievement of Operational Excellence in Manufacturing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, selected by the&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://btoes.com/judging-panel"&gt;independent judging panel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, for the 2020 Business Transformation &amp;amp; Operational Excellence Industry Awards program. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Since 2009, G-CON has led the prefabricated cleanroom industry, fulfilling pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical needs by embracing new trends. G-CON designs, builds and installs prefabricated cleanroom PODs for a variety of applications; from laboratory environments to personalized medicines and large-scale production platforms. As the leader in turnkey cleanroom solutions, G-CON PODs represent a significant innovation in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical production capabilities. PODs provide the only system that is readily deployable, flexible, mobile and scalable for any cleanroom need. The added benefit of the prefabricated cleanroom infrastructures is the unsurpassed budget and delivery time reliability, which can only be achieved when such systems are built off-site.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;PODs are always designed with the end user in mind, keeping flexibility, quality and regulatory compliance in the forefront. From the start, we incorporate cGMP requirements for a streamlined process:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Process Flow Diagrams: &lt;/strong&gt;Material, personnel, waste flows, product, sample, equipment and emergency flows&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Process Equipment Planning: &lt;/strong&gt;Assembly of equipment information from multiple vendors, organizing the equipment list, acquiring or building 3D components of process equipment for placement within the PODs&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Layout and Classification Planning: &lt;/strong&gt;Utilizing the equipment models and process flows to PODify the layout, ensuring the facility flows in a unidirectional fashion with the appropriate adjacencies, and determining of air changes and classifications based on client requirements&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With turnkey mobile facilities, we test every functional component of PODs prior to delivery with a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and after delivery with a Site Acceptance Test (SAT). With dedicated and in-house Quality and Commissioning Departments, we can also provide and execute a complete IQ/OQ package that meets the FDA and EU requirements for commissioning and qualification for every POD we build.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://insights.btoes.com/final-case-studies-2020"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;PODs fulfill the demands of industry and regulatory authorities. For example, regulatory requirements of containment and segregation are important to protect products and the environment are readily achieved in PODs.&amp;nbsp; PODs provide a complete prefabricated cleanroom that is autonomous, mobile and easy to clean. No other product or system on the market provides:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a turnkey approach&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;projects in such a short timeframe&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a finished product that is delivered to the site&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fully commissioned system with a complete engineering turnover package&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a repurposeable asset (with leasing available)&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;an asset that can be depreciated like equipment&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fixed budget and delivery date&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt; 
 &lt;h2 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Awards&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://insights.btoes.com/final-case-studies-2020"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;PODs fulfill the demands of industry and regulatory authorities. For example, regulatory requirements of containment and segregation are important to protect products and the environment are readily achieved in PODs.&amp;nbsp; PODs provide a complete prefabricated cleanroom that is autonomous, mobile and easy to clean. No other product or system on the market provides:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a turnkey approach&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;projects in such a short timeframe&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a finished product that is delivered to the site&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fully commissioned system with a complete engineering turnover package&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a repurposeable asset (with leasing available)&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;an asset that can be depreciated like equipment&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fixed budget and delivery date&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt;

 &lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Read this article about Flex, one of our finalists, in the category Best Achievement of Operational Excellence in Manufacturing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, selected by the&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://btoes.com/judging-panel"&gt;independent judging panel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, for the 2020 Business Transformation &amp;amp; Operational Excellence Industry Awards program. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Flex&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;As a global supply chain solutions and manufacturing company, Flex specializes in innovative design, engineering, manufacturing, real-time supply chain insight and logistics services. Flex provides a variety of solutions to customers in a range of industries, including automotive, cloud, communications, consumer, home &amp;amp; lifestyle, energy, and industrial, among others.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Center of Excellence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With a global presence, the company selected its Milpitas, California site to pilot a center of excellence initiative in the form of a customer innovation center. Located in Silicon Valley, where time-to-market is critical, the team manages a dynamic set of customers in various stages of the product lifecycle.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;In 2012, Milpitas developed a customer innovation center to support a broad portfolio of customers and products, spanning network devices, capital equipment, energy products and wearables, among others. To help customers launch products faster and capture market share, the team strengthened capabilities with the innovation center. Through the addition, the site provides accelerated prototype-to-mass production time and flexible supply chain solutions at a high quality and competitive price.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The Milpitas site must adapt to dynamic changes and focus on continuous improvement to help meet financial objectives and deliver value for all stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With the support of local management, the Business Excellence (BE) team drives transformation using Lean-Six Sigma methods for continuous improvement. The Flex Lean Enterprise (FLE) is based on the Toyota Production System, which applies Lean tools sequentially to eliminate waste and create value for customers. The Milpitas BE team’s efforts include facilitating a campus evolution from a manufacturing site to include a customer innovation center. Faster time to market and accelerated prototype build requires efficient resource management, business processes innovation and cross-functional collaboration with design, manufacturing and supply chain teams.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The Milpitas team, along with other Flex sites, strive to double the good, half the bad with triple the speed and sustain.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Flex&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;As a global supply chain solutions and manufacturing company, Flex specializes in innovative design, engineering, manufacturing, real-time supply chain insight and logistics services. Flex provides a variety of solutions to customers in a range of industries, including automotive, cloud, communications, consumer, home &amp;amp; lifestyle, energy, and industrial, among others.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Center of Excellence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With a global presence, the company selected its Milpitas, California site to pilot a center of excellence initiative in the form of a customer innovation center. Located in Silicon Valley, where time-to-market is critical, the team manages a dynamic set of customers in various stages of the product lifecycle.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;In 2012, Milpitas developed a customer innovation center to support a broad portfolio of customers and products, spanning network devices, capital equipment, energy products and wearables, among others. To help customers launch products faster and capture market share, the team strengthened capabilities with the innovation center. Through the addition, the site provides accelerated prototype-to-mass production time and flexible supply chain solutions at a high quality and competitive price.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The Milpitas site must adapt to dynamic changes and focus on continuous improvement to help meet financial objectives and deliver value for all stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With the support of local management, the Business Excellence (BE) team drives transformation using Lean-Six Sigma methods for continuous improvement. The Flex Lean Enterprise (FLE) is based on the Toyota Production System, which applies Lean tools sequentially to eliminate waste and create value for customers. The Milpitas BE team’s efforts include facilitating a campus evolution from a manufacturing site to include a customer innovation center. Faster time to market and accelerated prototype build requires efficient resource management, business processes innovation and cross-functional collaboration with design, manufacturing and supply chain teams.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The Milpitas team, along with other Flex sites, strive to double the good, half the bad with triple the speed and sustain.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;Innovation has been the driving force behind many successful companies. It is why the majority of businesses invest heavily in it. However, in order to release all the innovation the time to market is crucial. Time to Market (TTM) is the duration needed to bring a product to fruition. This includes the generation of an idea for the product; its whole design cycle; development, and launch on the market. The more streamlined and effective the product development process is, the better is the&amp;nbsp; ability to reduce the time to market. Maps as a product is used by millions of users worldwide for their day to day life, it is very essential for one of the largest provider to roll out the new version of maps to have a competitive edge/share on the market. To make sure we meet the timelines, the team worked on &lt;strong&gt;4 big leavers&lt;/strong&gt; .&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;We leveraged the&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;Agile and Factory Model established for Planning and day to day operations,&lt;/strong&gt;&amp;nbsp;where we leveraged volume inflow on each stage and the learning curve of the associates to improved the productivity month on month. This was also influenced by an incentive plan model. An efficient workflow was designed to do away with handoffs, cuts down on time wastage and reduce down times, thereby improving productivity by 10%. &lt;strong&gt;The&amp;nbsp;second play was on reducing inflow volume&lt;/strong&gt;,&amp;nbsp;We focused on the processes that have high% of transactions where no edits are required (NAR%). These transactions were analyzed, root cause identified for their generation with the help of GIS team and then were eliminated through Straight Through Processing. As a result, we were able to reduce volume for those process by 47% &amp;amp; 8%.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://insights.btoes.com/final-case-studies-2020"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Third Lever&amp;nbsp;we worked on&amp;nbsp;Client provided tool and Automation&lt;/strong&gt;, which had limited opportunities for deployment of Cognizant in-house developed automation bots. Despite those constraints we have helped client identify 12+ automation / bots within their tool like validation of address from source, identifying &amp;amp; assigning ranges to segment which reduced cycle time of transaction by 5%. We build in 151 QC automation check to enhance the produce quality, which eliminate 8% of rework reduction and time to completed the product. &lt;strong&gt;The&amp;nbsp;fourth lever&amp;nbsp;that we used was reducing High Cycle Time through Lean principles&lt;/strong&gt;. VSM &amp;amp; L4 mapping done to identify NVAs. Muda helped in identifying areas doing extra processing like digitizing awning &amp;amp; porches, working at higher zoom level.&amp;nbsp;All this helped in improving productivity by 7x and 1.5x for two processes.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;div class="button-image"&gt;
   &amp;nbsp; 
 &lt;/div&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;For the client we were able to save USD 2.2 MM with an FTE benefit of 314 FTEs. With 12+ automations/Bot, reduction in rework, efficient planning and feedbacks for NARs, helped us reduced Time to Market by 29 days and achieve the goal of delivering US by Sept 2019 instead of Dec 2019.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div class="blog-post-text-content"&gt; 
 &lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Read this article about G-CON Manufacturing Inc., Best Achievement of Operational Excellence in Manufacturing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, selected by the&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://btoes.com/judging-panel"&gt;independent judging panel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, for the 2020 Business Transformation &amp;amp; Operational Excellence Industry Awards program. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Since 2009, G-CON has led the prefabricated cleanroom industry, fulfilling pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical needs by embracing new trends. G-CON designs, builds and installs prefabricated cleanroom PODs for a variety of applications; from laboratory environments to personalized medicines and large-scale production platforms. As the leader in turnkey cleanroom solutions, G-CON PODs represent a significant innovation in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical production capabilities. PODs provide the only system that is readily deployable, flexible, mobile and scalable for any cleanroom need. The added benefit of the prefabricated cleanroom infrastructures is the unsurpassed budget and delivery time reliability, which can only be achieved when such systems are built off-site.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;PODs are always designed with the end user in mind, keeping flexibility, quality and regulatory compliance in the forefront. From the start, we incorporate cGMP requirements for a streamlined process:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Process Flow Diagrams: &lt;/strong&gt;Material, personnel, waste flows, product, sample, equipment and emergency flows&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Process Equipment Planning: &lt;/strong&gt;Assembly of equipment information from multiple vendors, organizing the equipment list, acquiring or building 3D components of process equipment for placement within the PODs&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Layout and Classification Planning: &lt;/strong&gt;Utilizing the equipment models and process flows to PODify the layout, ensuring the facility flows in a unidirectional fashion with the appropriate adjacencies, and determining of air changes and classifications based on client requirements&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With turnkey mobile facilities, we test every functional component of PODs prior to delivery with a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and after delivery with a Site Acceptance Test (SAT). With dedicated and in-house Quality and Commissioning Departments, we can also provide and execute a complete IQ/OQ package that meets the FDA and EU requirements for commissioning and qualification for every POD we build.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://insights.btoes.com/final-case-studies-2020"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;PODs fulfill the demands of industry and regulatory authorities. For example, regulatory requirements of containment and segregation are important to protect products and the environment are readily achieved in PODs.&amp;nbsp; PODs provide a complete prefabricated cleanroom that is autonomous, mobile and easy to clean. No other product or system on the market provides:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a turnkey approach&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;projects in such a short timeframe&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a finished product that is delivered to the site&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fully commissioned system with a complete engineering turnover package&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a repurposeable asset (with leasing available)&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;an asset that can be depreciated like equipment&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fixed budget and delivery date&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt; 
 &lt;h2 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Awards&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

&lt;div class="blog-post-text-content"&gt; 
 &lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Read this article about G-CON Manufacturing Inc., Best Achievement of Operational Excellence in Manufacturing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, selected by the&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://btoes.com/judging-panel"&gt;independent judging panel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, for the 2020 Business Transformation &amp;amp; Operational Excellence Industry Awards program. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Since 2009, G-CON has led the prefabricated cleanroom industry, fulfilling pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical needs by embracing new trends. G-CON designs, builds and installs prefabricated cleanroom PODs for a variety of applications; from laboratory environments to personalized medicines and large-scale production platforms. As the leader in turnkey cleanroom solutions, G-CON PODs represent a significant innovation in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical production capabilities. PODs provide the only system that is readily deployable, flexible, mobile and scalable for any cleanroom need. The added benefit of the prefabricated cleanroom infrastructures is the unsurpassed budget and delivery time reliability, which can only be achieved when such systems are built off-site.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;PODs are always designed with the end user in mind, keeping flexibility, quality and regulatory compliance in the forefront. From the start, we incorporate cGMP requirements for a streamlined process:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Process Flow Diagrams: &lt;/strong&gt;Material, personnel, waste flows, product, sample, equipment and emergency flows&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Process Equipment Planning: &lt;/strong&gt;Assembly of equipment information from multiple vendors, organizing the equipment list, acquiring or building 3D components of process equipment for placement within the PODs&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Layout and Classification Planning: &lt;/strong&gt;Utilizing the equipment models and process flows to PODify the layout, ensuring the facility flows in a unidirectional fashion with the appropriate adjacencies, and determining of air changes and classifications based on client requirements&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With turnkey mobile facilities, we test every functional component of PODs prior to delivery with a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and after delivery with a Site Acceptance Test (SAT). With dedicated and in-house Quality and Commissioning Departments, we can also provide and execute a complete IQ/OQ package that meets the FDA and EU requirements for commissioning and qualification for every POD we build.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://insights.btoes.com/final-case-studies-2020"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;PODs fulfill the demands of industry and regulatory authorities. For example, regulatory requirements of containment and segregation are important to protect products and the environment are readily achieved in PODs.&amp;nbsp; PODs provide a complete prefabricated cleanroom that is autonomous, mobile and easy to clean. No other product or system on the market provides:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a turnkey approach&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;projects in such a short timeframe&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a finished product that is delivered to the site&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fully commissioned system with a complete engineering turnover package&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a repurposeable asset (with leasing available)&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;an asset that can be depreciated like equipment&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fixed budget and delivery date&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt; 
 &lt;h2 style="text-align: justify;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif; color: #000000;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About the Awards&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/h2&gt;

 &lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Read this article about Flex, one of our finalists, in the category Best Achievement of Operational Excellence in Manufacturing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, selected by the&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://btoes.com/judging-panel"&gt;independent judging panel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, for the 2020 Business Transformation &amp;amp; Operational Excellence Industry Awards program. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Flex&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;As a global supply chain solutions and manufacturing company, Flex specializes in innovative design, engineering, manufacturing, real-time supply chain insight and logistics services. Flex provides a variety of solutions to customers in a range of industries, including automotive, cloud, communications, consumer, home &amp;amp; lifestyle, energy, and industrial, among others.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Center of Excellence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With a global presence, the company selected its Milpitas, California site to pilot a center of excellence initiative in the form of a customer innovation center. Located in Silicon Valley, where time-to-market is critical, the team manages a dynamic set of customers in various stages of the product lifecycle.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;In 2012, Milpitas developed a customer innovation center to support a broad portfolio of customers and products, spanning network devices, capital equipment, energy products and wearables, among others. To help customers launch products faster and capture market share, the team strengthened capabilities with the innovation center. Through the addition, the site provides accelerated prototype-to-mass production time and flexible supply chain solutions at a high quality and competitive price.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The Milpitas site must adapt to dynamic changes and focus on continuous improvement to help meet financial objectives and deliver value for all stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With the support of local management, the Business Excellence (BE) team drives transformation using Lean-Six Sigma methods for continuous improvement. The Flex Lean Enterprise (FLE) is based on the Toyota Production System, which applies Lean tools sequentially to eliminate waste and create value for customers. The Milpitas BE team’s efforts include facilitating a campus evolution from a manufacturing site to include a customer innovation center. Faster time to market and accelerated prototype build requires efficient resource management, business processes innovation and cross-functional collaboration with design, manufacturing and supply chain teams.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The Milpitas team, along with other Flex sites, strive to double the good, half the bad with triple the speed and sustain.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;About Flex&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;As a global supply chain solutions and manufacturing company, Flex specializes in innovative design, engineering, manufacturing, real-time supply chain insight and logistics services. Flex provides a variety of solutions to customers in a range of industries, including automotive, cloud, communications, consumer, home &amp;amp; lifestyle, energy, and industrial, among others.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Center of Excellence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With a global presence, the company selected its Milpitas, California site to pilot a center of excellence initiative in the form of a customer innovation center. Located in Silicon Valley, where time-to-market is critical, the team manages a dynamic set of customers in various stages of the product lifecycle.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;In 2012, Milpitas developed a customer innovation center to support a broad portfolio of customers and products, spanning network devices, capital equipment, energy products and wearables, among others. To help customers launch products faster and capture market share, the team strengthened capabilities with the innovation center. Through the addition, the site provides accelerated prototype-to-mass production time and flexible supply chain solutions at a high quality and competitive price.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The Milpitas site must adapt to dynamic changes and focus on continuous improvement to help meet financial objectives and deliver value for all stakeholders.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With the support of local management, the Business Excellence (BE) team drives transformation using Lean-Six Sigma methods for continuous improvement. The Flex Lean Enterprise (FLE) is based on the Toyota Production System, which applies Lean tools sequentially to eliminate waste and create value for customers. The Milpitas BE team’s efforts include facilitating a campus evolution from a manufacturing site to include a customer innovation center. Faster time to market and accelerated prototype build requires efficient resource management, business processes innovation and cross-functional collaboration with design, manufacturing and supply chain teams.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;The Milpitas team, along with other Flex sites, strive to double the good, half the bad with triple the speed and sustain.&lt;/p&gt;

 &lt;p style="text-align: justify; font-size: 18px;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;Read this article about G-CON Manufacturing Inc., Best Achievement of Operational Excellence in Manufacturing&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family: arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, selected by the&lt;/span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://btoes.com/judging-panel"&gt;independent judging panel&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: #000000;"&gt;, for the 2020 Business Transformation &amp;amp; Operational Excellence Industry Awards program. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;Since 2009, G-CON has led the prefabricated cleanroom industry, fulfilling pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical needs by embracing new trends. G-CON designs, builds and installs prefabricated cleanroom PODs for a variety of applications; from laboratory environments to personalized medicines and large-scale production platforms. As the leader in turnkey cleanroom solutions, G-CON PODs represent a significant innovation in pharmaceutical and biopharmaceutical production capabilities. PODs provide the only system that is readily deployable, flexible, mobile and scalable for any cleanroom need. The added benefit of the prefabricated cleanroom infrastructures is the unsurpassed budget and delivery time reliability, which can only be achieved when such systems are built off-site.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;PODs are always designed with the end user in mind, keeping flexibility, quality and regulatory compliance in the forefront. From the start, we incorporate cGMP requirements for a streamlined process:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Process Flow Diagrams: &lt;/strong&gt;Material, personnel, waste flows, product, sample, equipment and emergency flows&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Process Equipment Planning: &lt;/strong&gt;Assembly of equipment information from multiple vendors, organizing the equipment list, acquiring or building 3D components of process equipment for placement within the PODs&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Layout and Classification Planning: &lt;/strong&gt;Utilizing the equipment models and process flows to PODify the layout, ensuring the facility flows in a unidirectional fashion with the appropriate adjacencies, and determining of air changes and classifications based on client requirements&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;With turnkey mobile facilities, we test every functional component of PODs prior to delivery with a Factory Acceptance Test (FAT) and after delivery with a Site Acceptance Test (SAT). With dedicated and in-house Quality and Commissioning Departments, we can also provide and execute a complete IQ/OQ package that meets the FDA and EU requirements for commissioning and qualification for every POD we build.&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://insights.btoes.com/final-case-studies-2020"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;PODs fulfill the demands of industry and regulatory authorities. For example, regulatory requirements of containment and segregation are important to protect products and the environment are readily achieved in PODs.&amp;nbsp; PODs provide a complete prefabricated cleanroom that is autonomous, mobile and easy to clean. No other product or system on the market provides:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a turnkey approach&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;projects in such a short timeframe&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a finished product that is delivered to the site&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fully commissioned system with a complete engineering turnover package&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a repurposeable asset (with leasing available)&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;an asset that can be depreciated like equipment&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fixed budget and delivery date&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;a href="https://insights.btoes.com/final-case-studies-2020"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;p&gt;PODs fulfill the demands of industry and regulatory authorities. For example, regulatory requirements of containment and segregation are important to protect products and the environment are readily achieved in PODs.&amp;nbsp; PODs provide a complete prefabricated cleanroom that is autonomous, mobile and easy to clean. No other product or system on the market provides:&lt;/p&gt; 
 &lt;ul&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a turnkey approach&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;projects in such a short timeframe&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a finished product that is delivered to the site&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fully commissioned system with a complete engineering turnover package&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a repurposeable asset (with leasing available)&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;an asset that can be depreciated like equipment&lt;/li&gt; 
  &lt;li&gt;a fixed budget and delivery date&lt;/li&gt; 
 &lt;/ul&gt;

 &lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Center of Excellence&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
