Through exhaustive effort, working 10+ hours every day, 50 areas of opportunity were documented and prioritized by their level of impact and difficulty to implement. Improvements were then immediately put into action by the team. Those projects requiring additional work to complete were assigned to team members for follow-up scheduling and action plans.
At the end of the week, the Kaizen team achieved impressive results with ergonomic, safety, organization and setup time enhancements throughout the work cell. The program was deemed a success and will become part of the every-day business model at all Identity Group companies. The event proved a valuable tool for improving operations, quality and controlling rising costs. Most importantly, the company now has a new process to quickly identify and solve problems while empowering all associates with a new team spirit.
