Summary, Gemba Walk Network meeting 2/27/14

10 years of Lean at EIS Wire & Cable

“Mistakes made, lessons learned and continuing improvement”.

An inspiring morning for network attendees as Roy St. Andre and his team went through each of the last ten years with highlights, lessons learned and measures.  Continued growth (10% per year for the last few years) with no staffing additions.

Great stuff and a compelling argument for continuous improvement.

We went to see the entire shop floor and noticed good workplace organization; effective visuals supporting a supermarket/kanban pull system.

Businesses in attendance:

  • Precision Autocraft
  • Protonex
  • OFS Optics
  • Quirkwire
  • Southworth
  • Revere Smelting
  • North Amherst Motors

THANKS AGAIN TO THE EIS TEAM FOR A GREAT JOB!

Next Meeting March 20, 2014 at Protonex.  Details to follow soon.
