Amerimax Success Story

Order errors nearly eliminated with VSI

 

"CAMT's VSI [Value Stream Improvement] engaged all employees, making them integral with ownership to the improved process changes and our success into the future." - Neal Bretting, Sourcing Manager

 

 

The Amerimax Loveland facility's 55 employees produce and distribute high quality, energy efficient, custom residential vinyl windows and doors, as well as provide administrative and customer service for two window manufacturing facilities.

 

Improvement

Both internal and external customer service are key components to customer retention and Amerimax's success.  Amerimax engaged CAMT to help enhance their office operations, and Value Stream Improvement (VSI) projects were conducted to identify the critical process areas needing change to increase efficiency, accuracy, and customer satisfaction.

 

Results:

  • $50,000 in Cost Savings
  • 1 Retained Employee
  • 1 Job Created
