2-Day Flow Kaizen Blitz

AME’s Kaizen Blitz is an intensive rapid improvement event focused on a specific area and subject. Attendees will work side-by-side with host company members to make actual changes in the identified area to improve performance. The Kaizen Blitz approach is what sets AME apart from all other similar organizations.

The focus of this event will be the Rack and Roll Sub-assembly area. Continuous flow concepts will be applied to the Rack and Roll Sub-assembly line after a baseline of the current process has been documented. These include; takt time, standardized work, cellular/flow layout, and more. Once the physical changes have been made, the impact will be measured.

Well beyond classroom based training, come be a part of making real change happen at Intralox.
