We asked Dom what he likes about working at Del Monte and his response was “Del Monte is a very dynamic company known for the quality of its products and people.  It is a pleasure to work in the fast paced environment with a management team that is always looking to the future and growth.”

When asked how his work applies to the “bigger picture”, Dom stated “the 4C’s (Consumers/Customers/Costs/Capabilities) are the foundation of Del Monte’s strategic plan. Lean ties into the Capability and Cost areas by giving us the tools to meet marketplace needs for creating competitive and cutting edge capabilities and by assisting in creating a focused, efficient service oriented cost structure with top tier productivity and business processes.”  Dom has worked with Dr. Deming who is considered one of the “Founders of Lean”.
