Flexpipe's material handling case study: profitability and lean manufacturing

Get more details about this case study at: https://www.flexpipeinc.com/us_en/cas... Cogeco’s technical distribution center in Burlington, Ontario, is one of Canada’s drop-off points for Internet modem and cable device repair. A consulting firm was asked to teach the staff about lean manufacturing and to carry out a Kaizen blitz. People were defensive and some of the staff took things personally. The Cogeco team eventually got over this hump, but it took a good year to see a real culture change. The longer you have your staff, the harder it is to change. The team reduced movement and transportation waste by revamping the production floor’s layout and using custom-made modular gravity carts to meet their specific needs. They reconfigured the test stations into U-shaped stations. People need a lot of patience and must be 100% committed to change. A Kaizen blitz was no easy feat, but Cogeco can now say that it was definitely worth it! Now, imagine what the Flexpipe modular system can do for you!
