“Maple Sunscreening Ltd selected an operational team of 11 led by production manager Kelly Dunbar to work on transforming the shop-floor layout into a modern world class facility whilst developing each individual in lean management tools and techniques.

“Throughout the project the team developed new skills that when applied collectively created a new business culture of lean thinking and application of change.
Ideas were generated by the workforce and quickly implemented into real projects with support and investments provided by the Maple Leadership team.

They created value stream maps, seven waste analysis and Gemba walks, robust problem-solving processes through PDCA, Poka Yoke, and 5S throughout the factory. The energy, fun and enthusiasm from the team was remarkable.”
