Bryan Wehmeyer

As the Associate Vice President of Continuous Improvement at Agilent Technologies, Bryan Wehmeyer is at the forefront of fostering a culture of excellence and efficiency within the organization. With a robust commitment to engaging diverse teams, Bryan leads initiatives that integrate continuous improvement (CI) methodologies into the fabric of the company. His strategic vision is realized through the development and deployment of "The School of CI," a comprehensive facilitation training program designed to empower employees with the tools and knowledge necessary to drive sustainable change.

Bryan's expertise in Lean Thinking, Kaizen, and Hoshin Kanri enables him to craft tailored CI roadmaps in collaboration with key business partners. These roadmaps effectively balance immediate "quick fixes" with long-term projects, ensuring that improvements are both impactful and sustainable. His role also encompasses the establishment of a global mentoring program, which connects experienced CI practitioners with emerging leaders, fostering a culture of knowledge sharing and continuous learning.

In addition to his leadership in training and mentorship, Bryan is adept in statistical modeling and data analysis, leveraging these skills to identify opportunities for improvement and measure the impact of CI initiatives. By employing techniques such as Poka Yoke and 5 Whys, he ensures that processes are not only optimized but also resilient against future challenges. Under Bryan's guidance, Agilent Technologies is not just implementing CI practices; it is cultivating a mindset that values innovation, efficiency, and collaboration across all levels of the organization.
