Our Garland site (Texas) organized its Kaizen Week event from March 18-22, 2024. Cross-functional groups collaborated on 4 Kaizen initiatives focused on process improvement, efficiency, and productivity. We looked at many different ideas from local team and participants from Mexico. We all worked together to find the best ways to make our products more reliable, develop new standards to better manage waste, and reduce material use (overconsumption) in the organization. On Friday, March 22, we also recognized the team that most participated in achieving the objectives of reducing the generation, use and control of Reblend, the surplus and scrap generated during the standard production process called "Making Process". Special thanks to the Garland team for their efforts in organizing this event and for their hospitality. A big thank you also to all the participants and travelers from Mexico for their valuable contributions, hard work, and dedication to continuous improvement, which led to outstanding results.
