Is Your Plant “Lean” Enough?
Tuesday’s Presentation on 5S Lean Manufacturing Is Full of Ideas for Keeping Your Facility Fit. Cary Frame, American Spring Wire’s (ASW) Bedford Heights Plant Manager, will lead a discussion on 5S, one of the many building blocks for lean manufacturing. 5S is a technique used to maintain an effective, efficient workplace. The five “S’s” stand for sort, set-in-order, standardize, shine, and sustain. If you are looking for a program that aids in organizing your production floor better than it currently is, you will want to attend this presentation. It will be an overview of what 5S is and how you can implement it for success. Don’t miss out – register today!
