Success StoriesAlliance Plastics"The Association's Lean Operations program is simply outstanding. The benefits have not only been immediate, but they will also be long-lasting. The facility is now cleaner, the employee morale is higher and the processes have already demonstrated improvements. We couldn't have asked for a better organization or group to work with." Jeff Ore, President Howard Industries"The Manufacturer's Association's Lean Operations took a conventional 'job shop' sign manufacturer with little or no knowledge of Lean Operations and provided us with the tools to transform ourselves into a progressive, efficient production line supplier. "While some companies may only look at sections of their work areas (cells), we changed not only our entire production process, but also, more importantly, our mind-set on how we fabricate our products. "The Manufacturer's Association's Lean Operations didn't rush any phase of the process or watch the clock or calendar. We, as the client, drove the schedule. This was critical to helping our employees understand and embrace the program and changes before them. Customer participation and input is integral to the success desired. While the Manufacturer's Association's Lean Operations specialists effectively facilitate the program, they leave you with the knowledge to further apply this methodology to other areas of your company, making your employees Lean specialists." Patrick Sutton, President Jamestown Paint Company"The Manufacturers' Association has consistently provided exceptional work of the highest quality for Jamestown Paint Company. Your team members have not only shown professional courtesy, but they have also shown an advanced aptitude for the subject matter involved in the projects assigned, making every project easy to follow and implement. "The Manufacturers' Association of Northwest Pennsylvania has shown time and time again that they know their stuff and are willing to do whatever it takes to make every project a success, keeping the member companies' best interests in mind. "Thanks for everything and let everyone at the Manufacturers' Association know how truly appreciated they are by the Jamestown Paint Company."
