My boss had to make a mission statement for our department - he came up with the following:
Mission statement
"Proactive and dynamic intervention to minimise cost while maintaining safety and quality to fulfil our customers needs. "
Not happy that it did our department justice, I made up a new one - I can't understand why he didn't use it.....
"To Introduce, Maintain and Improve Products, Processes and Efficiencies with vigour and ability far beyond that which our salaries would suggest we are capable of."
