SCRAP KAIZEN CCL LABEL

HIGHTSTOWN, NJ

WASTE WAS OVER 28% AND UNACCEPTABLE SO WE DID A

KAIZEN

WE SAVED OUR SCRAP FOR THREE DAYS AND WERE BLOWN AWAY BY THE RESULTS

WE FILLED UP PALLET AFTER PALLET

THE SCRAP PILE GOT SO BIG WE HAD TO TAPE OFF THE AREA

DAY 3

WE CONVERTED THE SCRAP INTO DOLLARS AND WHAT YOU CAN BUY, HERE’S WHAT WE DID ABOUT IT….

AFTER ALL CHANGES WERE MADE WASTE WENT UNDER 20%

1. We now only give operators what work order allows for material if operator needs more material they need a Supervisors signature and a reason.

2. We are now saving butt rolls for set-up material and measuring it’s usage.

3. We are now training Set-Up Personnel to run presses so when Press Operators go on breaks they run presses, this increases output and reduces start up waste which could be up 5000 feet.
