The network’s first tour of a Shingo Prize winner (Public sector).
Major Gipe and the Letterkenney team provided us with a tremendous tour of the facility and information beyond the obvious. Their interest in our network, their process and the pride exhibited was compelling.
To say that the “Hum V Line” was a big hit for our group would be a huge understatement. What a tremendous example of line balancing (cycle time vs “pulse time” (we call that “takt time”), pull and coordinated, well documented team work.
