Abstract: Implementing standard work and the human side of lean in a repetitive, automotive like manufacturing environment. Genie Industries has been implementing the “hardware” side of lean ( Kanban, 5-S, Moving Lines, Heijunka Boxes, Poke Yoke, etc.) for over 10 years. In 2006 they added an initiative to implement lean management methods to compliment the “hardware” side and optimize performance in manufacturing. Standard work and daily kaizen as well as other lean management methods will be discussed.
