Lean Manufacturing
Pier Foundry applies lean principles to its manufacturing floor and office on a daily basis. Through the use of value stream mapping, 5S workplace organization, and kaizen events, we have eliminated waste in terms of time & dollars in virtually every process throughout the foundry. Employees have received outside training on lean manufacturing principles in an effort to get everyone to think “lean.” Several low cost or no cost programs are already completed and many others are underway.
