Join AME and host Paul Akers for the next highly rated 2 Second Lean tour series!
The 2SL approach is like Mentoring on Steroids for companies who are interested in developing their people.
At Husky Building Supply we will be touring the millwork operation which includes a variety of woodworking processes used to manufacture products for this important market segment. The company President and his operations team will highlight lean concepts (e.g., at the gemba versus on the gemba) and significant operational improvements. They will describe the morning meeting and best practices/concepts with a focus on the QC process. Overall, the tour will describe how they developed a culture that supports all of their continuous improvement activity.
On the tour visitors will see:
- Morning meeting
- QC process best practices
- CI culture
