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.

Their Lean journey began with a commitment to maximizing customer value, reducing costs, and fostering an environment where talented and motivated individuals can thrive. During your visit, you will see the impact of their Lean initiatives, including visual management tools like the Andon system, flow lines, lane stock, 5S, and Takt time displays.

As they move into 2025, they are introducing a new initiative aimed at reducing waste, improving flow, and enhancing end-of-line quality through the principle of one-piece flow. Attendees will gain insights into this initiative and others while touring the facility and engaging with key operational leaders on the production floor.
