Is It Worth the Effort?: How a Local Manufacturing Company Used Lean to Reduce Waste and Double Productivity.

Lean started in the manufacturing community and has branched out into all types of businesses. Structus Building Technologies started implementing Lean in 2004 and their waste has been reduced to 20% of what it originally was and productivity has doubled. This all occurred as their sales and profits grew significantly. 

David Slavensky

  • Lean requires involvement from the top person in the company, not just authorization. 
  • There should be clear communication on why you are doing Lean and how it is tied to business results. There should also be clarity on where you are heading.  
  • Use visual charts or indicators showing how things are progressing. 
  • Use a system to continually focus on improvements 

Presented by: David Slavensky (COO), Structus Building Technologies
