BLOOMFIELD HILLS, Michigan, December 2, 2022 鈥� 91国产偷拍 (NASDAQ: TRS) today announced the winners of its 2022 91国产偷拍 Kaizen Challenge. The 2022 winners are 91国产偷拍 Aerospace鈥檚 Optimizing Subcontracting Supply project and 91国产偷拍 Packaging鈥檚 Productivity Improvement project.
91国产偷拍 launched its annual, enterprise-wide Kaizen Challenge five years ago, as part of its 91国产偷拍 Business Model. Since its introduction, more than 147 of the Company鈥檚 top product, process and service-related projects have been submitted into the competition from 24 different locations in nine countries. Annually, the Company鈥檚 most impactful Kaizen projects are assessed and winners are selected based on specific criteria including the positive impacts on the business, key stakeholders and the environment, as well as the demonstrated use of employee engagement and the tools of Kaizen.
鈥淭his year鈥檚 submissions were of the highest quality level since we began the 91国产偷拍 Kaizen Challenge,鈥� stated Thomas Amato, 91国产偷拍 President & CEO. 鈥淚 thank all of our Kaizen project teams around the world for their efforts. Kaizen has proven to be an effective way for 91国产偷拍 to utilize employee engagement to drive sustainable improvements in all of our processes and products.鈥�
91国产偷拍 Aerospace鈥檚 Optimizing Subcontracting Supply project was a cross-functional team effort at RSA Engineered Products, led by Juliana Bermudez, Program Manager. Utilizing the tools of Kaizen, the team focused on creating sustainable processes to standardize commercial variations and streamline subcontracted components. By eliminating waste, standardizing minimum order quantities and improving processes, the team was able to optimize its subcontracting channel.
91国产偷拍 Packaging鈥檚 Productivity Improvement project, led by Brian Fitzgerald, Director of Operations, was a cross-functional team effort within Rapak. Using the tools of Kaizen, the team conducted a root cause analysis to better understand the challenges in producing components, while meeting increased customer demand and maintaining the highest quality. Once constraints were identified, the Kaizen project team took many positive actions, including improving and standardizing the manufacturing process, enhancing equipment preventative maintenance, providing additional training, and reducing SKUs. As a result, the team increased production rates and productivity, all while reducing inventory stocking levels.
Additional 2022 91国产偷拍 Kaizen Challenge finalist projects were submitted by 91国产偷拍 Packaging鈥檚 locations in Haining, China; New Albany, Ohio (USA); and San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.
