What Our Customers Are Saying

M&S Fabrication

New fiber laser? Buried in raw material? If so, you’re not alone… here’s a peek inside M&S Fabrication to show how they overcame their inventory challenges. After realizing how much time they were spending every day unburying the material they needed, they knew they needed to invest into their first touch points: raw material before it even hits the laser; and the results are outstanding!

Stifflers Chassis and Suspension

Adhering to lean manufacturing principles is one of the many ways that Stifflers Chassis and Suspension finds great success in high-quality laser cutting and metal fabrication. After becoming buried in raw sheet stock for their high-speed fiber laser, they trusted Lean Manufacturing Products to provide a turnkey solution for managing their inventory with a reduced footprint and increased accessibility. Listen along as their Production Manager, Mike Simpson, explains how they operated before having LEAN’s sheet storage rack, and how they are now thriving post-installation – with newly created space, capacity, safety, and throughput. A big win for all.

Accurate Fabrication, LLC

“Thank you again for the Lean Manufacturing Raw Material racks. They not only look awesome, but they save a ton of floor space.  We used to unbury 2-3 stacks of material several times daily to get the material we need to process orders effectively.  With the addition of the four material racks, we’ve reduced the floor space we use for material storage by a third.  As a bonus, the Lean rack shelves fit perfectly in our automation tower making load/unload fast, allowing our operators to spend more time cutting material.  The addition of your racks has truly made a huge dent in our continuous addition of Lean practices throughout our plant.”

Danuser Solves Space Challenges

After Danuser’s most recent building addition in 2018, the thought of knocking down a wall and expanding the building was a gut-wrenching thought. Was there any way they could hold more sheet metal inventory in less space?

Within minutes of sending in an online request, Danuser had a Lean Manufacturing project manager dedicated to their opportunity. Read more.

Simpson Strong-Tie

As the Production Manager for Simpson Strong-Tie, Josh Williams plays an integral role in the successful implementation of Lean principles within his manufacturing facility. Josh knew that with an overcrowded shop floor, practicing FIFO and the potential of damaged material can become a persistent issue. The integration of LEAN Safety Block Storage Systems created a seamless storage access point that improved the efficiency and productivity on the shop floor. Sheet metal secured in independent cartridges eliminates the potential of damaged material, reduces machine downtime, and will create cost-savings for Simpson Strong-Tie for years to come.
