Schaefer hosts lean workshop

'Eliminate waste and maximise efficiency' - this was the overriding message given to a group of delegates at the latest Lean Factory Group workshop, hosted in Andover, Hampshire.

The Lean Factory Group, a consortium of seven suppliers to the manufacturing sector.

A demonstration manufacturing cell, set-up within SSI Schaefer's headquarters, gave delegates the opportunity to see how an efficient working production line should look and run. The cell provides a highly effective, practical and visual way of educating manufacturers to the benefits of lean implementation.

Aaron Thornton, business development manager, SSI Schaefer, said: “Every warehouse manager and production line manager is looking for ways to maximise efficiency and improve productivity levels while driving costs down and lean delivers.”
