    Virtual Lean Peer Group #27

    June 13, 2023 through May 14, 2024

    1:00 pm to 3:00 pm

    Build a Lean Culture to Ensure Long-Term Success

    MWCC has held regional Lean Peer Groups throughout Maryland since 2012. This program is now available to organizations regardless of company location.

    Lean applies to any type of organization and processing environment. Whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, service organization, or a non-profit, this program should be part of your Continuous Improvement plan. Revamp and re-energize your Lean strategy by networking with and learning from others who are committed to creating a Lean culture.

    Schedule - Each Lean Peer Group meets monthly. (Refer to the registration page for the tentative schedule.) However, if anyone is unable to attend on these dates, they may attend one of the other Group meetings.

    Format:

    • Lean Training/Discussion - 1 Hour
      • Topic Examples - Lean Leadership, Resistance to Change, Influence / Motivation, Support System Alignment, Engagement Methods, Office Lean, Lean Fundamentals, Key Lean Tools
    • Company Presentation - 30 minutes
      • At each meeting, a Member Company provides a short presentation on Lean activities in their organization, such as a company project, challenge, or Lean plans, for Group learning and/or to obtain member input.
    • Open Discussion - 30 minutes
      • Member sharing of experiences for others to learn and/or to request Group input on issues and challenges.

    Program Features!

    • Member Locations - Participation will not be restricted to any particular region within Maryland, nor is participation exclusive to Maryland organizations. The video conference format enables participation of organizations regardless of location.
    • Number of Members - Since room capacity limitations are not a concern with videoconferencing,  the maximum number of participating organizations is twelve. Number of participants per company is not restricted (within reason).
    • Number of Meetings - There are 12 meetings, and MWCC Quarterly Conferences and Lean Learnings are no-cost to members.
    • "Members Only" - Each Group has their own area on the MWCC website.  This member area will have a location for materials such as meeting presentation slides.

    Who Should Attend?

    Organizations – Not just for manufacturers, our Lean Peer Groups have a mix of companies from a broad range of industries and Lean maturity levels, from those who are just getting started to some who would be considered Lean-mature organizations. The only real requirement is a sincere desire and commitment to moving forward on this never-ending journey of excellence.

    Meeting AttendeesThere are no restrictions as to company position, but typical attendees include Lean facilitators and company leaders. Specifically, front-line leaders would gain greatly from ongoing participation. Though anyone in the organization who wants to learn more about Lean is welcome to participate.

    What about the cost?

    Lean Peer Group participation includes a one-year MWCC membership, a $1250 value. NOTE:  Your company might qualify for grant reimbursement of 50% of the $3000 fee at the end of the Peer Group round. (This reimbursement is subject to availability of funding and adequate appropriation.) Considering these factors, the effective cost for Maryland company participants would be $250 for the whole organization for this year-long program. (Non-Maryland organizations should check grant availability in their states.)


    Your Lean Peer Group Facilitator

    Dave Rizzardo has been the Associate Director of MWCC since 2014. In 2012, he co-developed the Lean Peer Group service and has been facilitating multiple groups since that time. His Lean experience predates the time when Lean became synonymous with business excellence. His recently published book, "Lean - Let's Get It Right! How to Build a Culture of Continuous Improvement", dives into many of the topics discussed and debated during the MWCC Lean Peer Group meetings.

    Companies actively engaged in Lean offer a treasure trove of information when it comes to their respective Lean journeys. Benchmarking these companies brings you new ideas, an affirmation of your current practices, and an opportunity to be spurred on and take next steps in your own organization. To that end, we are continuing to bring you monthly tours so you can take advantage of this knowledge base. Each plant tour offers a unique opportunity to dialog with peers from across industries and functions about best practices, challenges and solutions to moving your organization forward.

    MERCURY PLASTICS

    LEAN MANUFACTURING PLANT TOUR

    (LIMIT 2 SPOTS PER COMPANY)

    Located in South Baltimore, Mercury Plastics is a thermoform plastic manufacturer serving the aerospace, defense, consumer products and energy industries. Products include candle packaging, blisters, clamshells, component parts, police car doors, museum vitrines, acrylic displays and much more. Mercury Plastics began Maryland operations in November 2020 following the acquisition of Maryland Thermoform, a manufacturer that had been struggling for several years.

    Beginning in 2018, the transition to a culture of Lean was constrained by the unavailability of cash resources. Immediately following the acquisition, the focus shifted from survival to prosperity. Visitors will see first-hand what a small group of dedicated people can accomplish and why Mercury Plastics is proud of the first-responder attitude team members demonstrate daily. See what the implementation of Lean business practices can do for your team. Join us as they share their challenges, successes and plans for the future.

    Companies actively engaged in Lean offer a treasure trove of information when it comes to their respective Lean journeys. Benchmarking these companies brings you new ideas, an affirmation of your current practices, and an opportunity to be spurred on and take next steps in your own organization. To that end, we are continuing to bring you monthly tours so you can take advantage of this knowledge base. Each plant tour offers a unique opportunity to dialog with peers from across industries and functions about best practices, challenges and solutions to moving your organization forward.


    LEAN MANUFACTURING PLANT TOUR

    Headquartered in Bethesda, CULTA is a vertically integrated cannabis company that cultivates, extracts, processes, distributes and retails cannabis and cannabis-related products. CULTA proudly grows and processes all its own cannabis in their facility in Cambridge and operates three dispensaries located in the Inner Harbor of Baltimore, Ellicott City, and Frederick.

    Since their inception, CULTA has striven to continuously improve their systems and equipment, not only in their cultivation and laboratory spaces, but also in their financial departments and data collection as well. To ensure that they meet their mission of providing lifestyle cannabis users with high-quality experiences, they have begun to develop a strategy of implementing Lean principles holistically in the organization. At their facility in Cambridge, you will see how they cultivate, harvest, dry, cure, and process cannabis into one of the many end products that they offer Maryland medical cannabis patients and the wider adult use market.

    Virtual Lean Peer Group #30

    June 18, 2024 thru May 13, 2025

    1:00 pm to 3:00 pm

    Build a Lean Culture to Ensure Long-Term Success

    MWCC has held regional Lean Peer Groups throughout Maryland since 2012. This program is now available to organizations regardless of company location.

    Lean applies to any type of organization and processing environment. Whether you are a manufacturer, distributor, service organization, or a non-profit, this program should be part of your Continuous Improvement plan. Revamp and re-energize your Lean strategy by networking with and learning from others who are committed to creating a Lean culture.

    Schedule - Each Lean Peer Group meets monthly. (Refer to the registration page for the tentative schedule.) However, if anyone is unable to attend on these dates, they may attend one of the other Group meetings.

    Format:

    • Lean Training/Discussion - 1 Hour
      • Topic Examples - Lean Leadership, Resistance to Change, Influence / Motivation, Support System Alignment, Engagement Methods, Office Lean, Lean Fundamentals, Key Lean Tools
    • Company Presentation - 30 minutes
      • At each meeting, a Member Company provides a short presentation on Lean activities in their organization, such as a company project, challenge, or Lean plans, for Group learning and/or to obtain member input.
    • Open Discussion - 30 minutes
      • Member sharing of experiences for others to learn and/or to request Group input on issues and challenges.

    Program Features!

    • Member Locations - Participation will not be restricted to any particular region within Maryland, nor is participation exclusive to Maryland organizations. The video conference format enables participation of organizations regardless of location.
    • Number of Members - Since room capacity limitations are not a concern with videoconferencing,  the maximum number of participating organizations is twelve. Number of participants per company is not restricted (within reason).
    • Number of Meetings - There are 12 meetings, and MWCC Quarterly Conferences and Lean Learnings are no-cost to members.
    • "Members Only" - Each Group has their own area on the MWCC website.  This member area will have a location for materials such as meeting presentation slides.

    Who Should Attend?

    Organizations – Not just for manufacturers, our Lean Peer Groups have a mix of companies from a broad range of industries and Lean maturity levels, from those who are just getting started to some who would be considered Lean-mature organizations. The only real requirement is a sincere desire and commitment to moving forward on this never-ending journey of excellence.

    Meeting AttendeesThere are no restrictions as to company position, but typical attendees include Lean facilitators and company leaders. Specifically, front-line leaders would gain greatly from ongoing participation. Though anyone in the organization who wants to learn more about Lean is welcome to participate.

    What about the cost?

    Lean Peer Group participation includes a one-year MWCC membership, a $1250 value. NOTE:  Your company might qualify for grant reimbursement of 50% of the $3000 fee at the end of the Peer Group round. (This reimbursement is subject to availability of funding and adequate appropriation.) Considering these factors, the effective cost for Maryland company participants would be $250 for the whole organization for this year-long program. (Non-Maryland organizations should check grant availability in their states.)
