Paramount believes that giving clients the value they deserve requires a singular focus on operating efficiently in all aspects of our business. That’s why we’re honored to be among the select companies in the Jacksonville Lean Consortium, a group of businesses that are committed to being world-class organizations. We were selected for membership after a thorough interview process and an accountability commitment by all individuals in the organization.
“Lean” is the relentless pursuit of the elimination of waste. It is a journey, not a destination, and it requires constant focus on the least-cost way to bring the most value to our clients — value that our clients define. Everything that doesn’t add value to our clients is waste.
Lean is also much more than an efficient manufacturing plant. It’s an approach that permeates our entire enterprise, from upper management to accounting to the shipping docks — and beyond. We share lean concepts with our suppliers and encourage them to adopt them in their businesses.
Because lean is not an easy journey, more than 50 Jacksonville companies, large and small, are sharing resources through the Lean Consortium and helping each other to continuously improve. There truly is strength in numbers, and Paramount is committed to making a meaningful contribution to the adoption of lean principles on behalf of our clients and the Jacksonville business community.
