GlassBytes reports that Safelite Auto Glass aims to become more efficient and lean at its Enfield, N.C., manufacturing plant.
As a result toward this effort, the company recently received a $30,000 grant from the state of North Carolina through the Incumbent Workforce Project for Lean Manufacturing training.
Initially, there would be 55 Safelite employees who received Six Sigma “lean” training.
According to Rich Glover, assistant vice president of manufacturing and distribution for Belron US:
“We plan to continue the Kaizen events in different areas of our operation to further optimize our process. Our mission is continuous improvement and the lean philosophy along with Six Sigma methodology will be used to accomplish further improvements in our operation.”
