1. SCRAP KAIZEN
CCL LABEL
HIGHTSTOWN, NJ

2. WASTE WAS OVER 28% AND
UNACCEPTABLE SO WE DID A KAIZEN

3. WE SAVED OUR SCRAP FOR THREE DAYS
AND WERE BLOWN AWAY BY THE RESULTS

4. WE FILLED UP PALLET AFTER PALLET

5. THE SCRAP PILE GOT SO BIG WE HAD TO
TAPE OFF THE AREA

6. DAY 3

7. WE CONVERTED THE SCRAP INTO DOLLARS
AND WHAT YOU CAN BUY, HERE’S WHAT WE
DID ABOUT IT….

8. AFTER ALL CHANGES WERE MADE
WASTE WENT UNDER 20%
1. We now only give operators what work order allows for material if
operator needs more material they need a Supervisors signature and
a reason.
2. We are now saving butt rolls for set-up material and measuring it’s
usage.
3. We are now training Set-Up Personnel to run presses so when Press
Operators go on breaks they run presses, this increases output and
reduces start up waste which could be up 5000 feet.
