Here are the key elements from my interview with VP of Operations Dan Heller of Geater Machining.

1. “We were able to increase throughput through the bottleneck process of paint by 60% after one Rapid Improvement Event.

2. “Lean applies to many areas, especially a machine shop. Any time you want to increase throughput, and save money, Lean applies.”

3. “Seeing the employees’ enthusiasm, give their ideas, be heard and provide their input is very exciting.”

4. The biggest successes have been the Rapid Improvement Events. “We have seen a huge benefit by getting everyone trained on Lean tropics.”

5. “Lean has helped us give employees a better work/life balance.”

6. “It’s important to find a consultant that knows the practical aspects of Lean not just the theory to help guide you on your Lean journey.”
