Another Lean Adopter
This time it's New England Peptide, a company who, unsurprisingly, produces peptides and antibodies based in New England.
Peptide "manufacturing" is clearly not one of the areas traditionally associated with lean, but that hasn't stopped NEP from reaping its benefits.
According to a recent press release NEP can improve its lead time by 25% in 12 to 18 months. For a company already with the best lead time in its industry, this increase can only boost customer satisfaction and worker productivity.
Using techniques like 5s, NEP's founder feels they are bringing a "new level of sophistication" to the business.
The visual organization of space can seriously improve lead time - it turns out in almost any industry!
