Motion Controls Robotics, Inc (MCRI) is a leading provider of automation solutions to manufacturing industries. MCRI has experienced huge growth over the past few years, and sees many benefits in implementing the 5S strategy.
5S is generally considered a good place to start as a pilot program for lean manufacturing due to its five basic principles: sort, set in order, shine, standardize, and sustain. MCRI will work in teams to assess and implement the 5S strategy throughout the shop floor areas. Phase two will involve reviewing more challenging improvement efforts, operational procedures, and production processes.
