Join MAPP’s staff and board of directors as they tour Baxter Enterprises in Winchester, TN. The family-owned and operated business has been operating since 1997 and focuses on education and accountability amongst their teams. The organization houses both tool building and injection molding, offering a turn-key solution for clients and works diligently to align these two departments. By educating everyone in their organization on major leading indicators for the business their team has been able to continually improve its efficiency and quality.

“We explain if the goal is a 20% increase, what does that exactly mean to them, to their department, to other departments and the company overall. We really explain how each step makes an impact,” explains Shaun Karn, president and CFO at Baxter. Additionally, Baxter Enterprises brings their entire management team together each week to review financial metrics and make sure everyone is making progress and improvements.
