Company Culture

"It used to be maybe an idea would get tossed out and people would say we have done it this way for 15 or 20 years, why should we change? Now our workers have set up lean manufacturing cellularized lines and let the employees design the lines and take ownership of it because it is theirs.”

Bureau Veritas Minerals

Manufacture Nevada worked with Bureau Veritas Minerals (BVM) to determine the appropriate approach and resources for 5S implementation. A GAP analysis was performed to determine the scope of the project, after which, Manufacture Nevada presented multiple resources that could assist BVM. Bureau Veritas Minerals chose Creating Effective Organizations, Inc. (CEO) to be part of their team. CEO facilitated 5S workshops for all employees, participated in weekly GEMBA walks and led impact and opportunity review sessions. Cross functional teams received classroom training followed by practical application of each 5S principle. This approach allowed Bureau Veritas Minerals to interact with a hands-on mentor to guide them through the culture change and successful implementation of a 5S system with the ultimate goal of reducing turn-around time and improving process efficiency while maintaining quality.

Manufacture Nevada met with Air-Care to discuss their needs. After an assessment of the manufacturing operations, Manufacture Nevada provided Lean, 5S, and Quick Changeover (SMED) training to key supervisors and line staff. The implementation phase consisted of coaching on the principles. Manufacture Nevada worked with Air-Care’s schedule and implemented lean in short visits over 3 months with very minimal disruption to their schedule.

Rapid growth at the company led to the creation of a workforce that was experiencing high turnover. There was also a significant increase in rework, related to a combination of the turnover and weak control on manufacturing drawings. Additionally, 15% of the workforce had English as a second language. With supervisors receiving only limited basic supervision training from the Nevada Association of Employers and the rest of the workforce receiving no soft skills training at all, action had to be taken to improve retention and reduce rework costs. Jensen decided that by combining the teamwork elements of implementing a company wide 5S (sort, set in order, shine, standardize, sustain) initiative along with integrating supervisory and coaching skills, improvements could be made in both rework reduction and workforce improvements.
