Lean Culture
From Tools to Culture
Established in 1972, Custom Castings specializes in the manufacture of high-quality permanent mold aluminum and zinc alloy castings. In 2015 a project was launched to transition the company to cellular manufacturing, that would allow work to flow from molten metal to finished goods with minimal changes of ownership. Employees needed to be cross trained and SMED and TPM needed to be a focus within the cells. To improve, a continuous improvement culture needed to be seeded and nurtured. On this tour you will learn about this journey and see cellular manufacturing, automation, one-piece flow, visual management and visual KPIs.
