Roll-Kraft lean manufacturing processes help to reduce
waste
Recently implemented methods initiated by Roll-Kraft's lean manager, Kevin Hartman, have resulted
in an immediate reduction of waste material in the tube and pipe and roll forming tooling production
process, the company stated in a news release. Those waste materials decreased by 43 percent, the
company added.
This is the first of several improvements expected to be realized over the coming months, as various
processes are reviewed and modifications identified. Â
"We are taking significant measures in our industry to practice lean," said Roll-Kraft President
Chuck Gehrisch. "These waste reduction improvements that Kevin and his team have achieved will
directly benefit our customers by helping us improve our industry-leading 98 percent on-time
delivery and 97 percent first-time performance rates."
Roll-Kraft operates plants in Mentor, where it also has its headquarters; and in Frankfort, Ill., and
Woodbridge, Ontario.
