Adoption of Leanness in the Manufacturing Industry

Lean manufacturing is a technique that incorporates the elimination of waste, non-value-added activities, and developing a lean workforce. These practices are not implemented into an organization without a committed workforce, upper management leading by example, and the right techniques and management to ensure a smooth transition. Intralox has implemented lean manufacturing and operations into its culture to produce high quality parts efficiently and effectively. They have executed this practice through a lean workforce, levelizing inventory, and building in quality to each step of the process. These practices have ensured Intralox is a competitive organization in the plastic manufacturing industry.
