a CAMT success story
"To truly change the culture of a business, everyone must practice what they preach, walk the talk, casting a positive shadow over the business. With CAMT's Lean and TWI, I've seen that change. The foundation for change is there, and we get better each passing month." David Kilhefner, Director of Operations
Environmental Resource Associates (ERA) is a proficiency testing provider in Golden that ensures water supply and treatment companies around the world accurately test for pollution. Producing thousands of samples with varying concentrations of pollutants and contaminants, each one requiring separate verification and validation, makes for a challenging manufacturing environment.
Since 2007, ERA has partnered with CAMT to incorporate Lean methods into workplace processes, focusing on 5S, visual management and value stream mapping. This year, ERA has trained supervisors and managers in Training Within Industry (TWI) to ensure consistency in management and training practices.
TWI has been the key to sustaining a Lean focus for the entire organization, providing a systematic framework to approach problems in the workplace. Implementing Lean and TWI methods has led ERA to $600,000 in increased sales and $125,000 in cost savings.
