The main thrust of the manufacturing is creating and or harvesting regional quality one of kind quality product.
Bumblebee has developed a data- base of regional quality exclusive produce including wine, cheeses, bread and confectionary all limited addition. The best that Australia is producing and Bumblebee is ready to harvest the best we can produce in the future. The essence of Australia is excellence. It is what we represent and what we strive for in all we do.
Bumblebee also has connected with Aboriginal groups and multicultural groups that have a wealth of creativity and skill, working with this groups as Hives, Bumblebee creates employment, providing design, training and production of quality products and produces, that see profits shared with the communities.
Quality Manufacturing in this instance has a purpose that goes beyond the mere making of money. It is a natural outgrowth of the abilities that individuals have been given.- it calls for people to be the subject of work not the object- real value is to be found with in the context of the industry, in the people doing the work.- value is measured in who they are becoming, value is measured in what they are producing and value is measured in the worth of the combined team effort.
Bumblebee provides an environment of innovation, participation and empowerment. Our environments both in our centers here in Australia and overseas looks at creating the scene for optimum growth and participation for all concerned. All environments cater for the need of the individuals in their care and careful consideration is given to respect culturally relevant differences, -ensuring all communities that Bumblebee interacts with are respected. Their belief system honored and their customs valued and supported.
Bumblebee has a sound knowledge and understanding of the optimum work environment, its conditions support the nurture of human potential, manufacturing is mainly done in small centers in either villages or towns supported by a community center where ongoing training and sharing of ideas is complimented by the freedom that comes from creating individual and quality product-.
In each center Bumblebee provides child care facility -In developing countries this goes hand in hand with education and medical facility. All workers have access to this care and Bumblebee works in dialogue with pharmaceutical companies to ensure availability of medicines,
In developing quality lifestyle manufacturing Bumblebee interacts with these communities, provides them with modern and marketable design, and training in that design with expert artisans - In all instances Bumblebee takes into consideration the innate skills of the workers, availability of appropriate resources and employs a program that sees these skills further developed in order to create modern and marketable product.
In no instance is there mass production or workers asked to produce product that is not suited to their skills or personality - Individuality is encouraged as is the development of self respect, appreciation and a sense of responsibility for those skills. This is an underlying principle of Bumblebee - all people are unique, all people have a great deal to offer and the whole enterprise is to benefit by each individual contributing to the best of his or her ability.
Bumblebee manufacturing is committed to honoring life style it embraces quality family time and initiates special activities with in the cottage industry to support the family, in the context of culture as part of its operations
Bumblebee at the manufacturing level-can not function to its capacity unless its people can rely upon each other and the covenants and commitments that each participant gives to one and another are honored.
We have artisans that have accomplished extra-ordinary standards in production and these products are beginning to be exported to the wider global community on a very small scale.
