Metal manufacturers (ie companies such John Deere, Bunn Coffee Roasters, and all the third-party suppliers that support their overflow work) constantly focus on getting more product out the door. Typically, they purchase newer, faster machines to process the orders. Or sometimes they build an expansion or buy an additional building. However, they all have HUGE opportunities for efficiency gains th
rough organization. Let’s just say that manufacturing facilities are not typically known for their shine. From the principles of 5S – the core of lean manufacturing – individual work cells should have everything they need to do a particular job, and absolutely nothing else. Companies are constantly investing in more multi-million dollar equipment, building more multi-million dollar additions, and hiring more employees because they think it’s the answer their growing pains. But that’s not necessarily their answer. If they look inside their already-existing box, they’ll see what we – Lean Manufacturing Products, Inc. – can offer them through our lean manufacturing principles and products. We offer products that streamline processes, allowing them to get more product out the door using the same resources they already have budgeted. By our math, that’s a much easier solution than buying additional machinery, expanding to larger buildings, or hiring redundant help. Our goal is to increase throughput while maintaining (or even lowering) the pre-existing bottom line of every company we work with. At its roots, our goal is to help you improve productivity and profitability within your existing facility space with fast and easy-to-implement material handling solutions that:
- Save time
- Improve organization
- Increase workflow visibility
- Clean up cluttered shop floors
- Protect your sheet metal material from damage
- Reduce inventory
- Minimize employee stress
