The initiative succeeded beyond expectations reinforcing the division's industry leadership as well as spawning the Danaher Business System (DBS). Since this modest beginning, DBS has evolved from a collection of manufacturing improvement tools into a philosophy, a set of values, and ultimately a management philosophy and system.

8 DBS defines who we are and how we do what we do. The DBS engine drives the company through a never-ending cycle of improvement: exceptional people develop outstanding plans and use world-class tools to construct sustainable processes, resulting in superior performance. Guiding all efforts is a simple philosophy rooted in four customer-focused priorities: Quality, Delivery, Cost, and Innovation. By constantly improving our business processes and continually innovating our product, we provide you with maximum product value, reliable quality and fast, dependable delivery.
