Continuous Improvement
This Tauber project focused on Mastronardi’s largest distribution center in Livonia, Michigan. Mastronardi Produce is interested in achieving operational excellence through lean methodologies, and the objective of the project was to evaluate and introduce operational improvements through multiple lean kaizen events.
The objectives of the events were to reduce waste and establish new standards of work while focusing on safety, customer service, product utilization and cost. These kaizen events aim not only to make immediate improvements but also to create a lean culture where the employees are empowered to make change.
