Simple and effective system improves process flow while eliminating waste for successful Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing management.
ROCHESTER, N.Y., June 3, 2014 /PRNewswire/ — A simple, yet highly effective visual tracking system to improve process flow is now available for companies that embrace or seek to deploy Six Sigma and Lean Manufacturing: The StoreSMART Visual Management and Control Board system, employed in such major manufacturing plants as Coca Cola, Dupont, Ford, and Anheuser-Busch, can be customized for virtually any setting. Touted in a case study in David Mann's international bestseller, Creating a Lean Culture: Tools to Sustain Lean Conversions, this elegantly simple visual tracking system of clear plastic holders devised by StoreSMART solved a thorny production problem that "a slick computer system" was unable to.
Shango Robinson, Lean Manager at SCHOTT North America's Lebanon, PA location can attest to the ease and efficiency of the StoreSMART Visual Management and Control Boards. Robinson uses StoreSMART magnetic closure organizers and magnetic rigid holders to post information on communication boards throughout his facility. The company, which manufactures pharmaceutical packaging materials such as vials and syringes, uses five boards to provide information in the following areas: administration, vials production, vials packaging, quality control, and maintenance. Says Robinson, "StoreSMART products allow SCHOTT to post information easily by simply sliding sheets in and out of the given sleeves. Other advantages include the transparent plastic sleeves, which offer a convenient way for employees to write notes with dry erase markers. In addition, the magnetic backs make it easier to change the arrangement on a board depending on what the specific situation demands."
The StoreSMART Visual Management and Control Boards system consists of heavy-gauge, color-coded file jackets with crystal clear fronts. Magnetic, adhesive, or Velcro backings enable pockets to be quickly affixed, arranged, and rearranged on manufacturing whiteboards as Visual Management and Control Boards necessary. Sealed on two or three sides, plastic pockets protect important documents and permit easy insertion and removal of printed materials as necessary. The system is ideal for Six Sigma, Lean Manufacturing, 5S, warehouses, office environments and classrooms.
