Sunset began its lean journey in August 2001 and like many other companies implementing lean we had lots of success on the shop floor with set-up reduction and 5S. As lean moved deeper within the company we held a kaizen event focused on our work order flow system. The outcome, we recognized our traditional accounting practices such as the shop floor job costing system was full of waste and inaccurate so we unplugged it and the fun began. The presentation will take you through the design – implementation aspects of the value streams, resource factoring, box score metrics tracking and value stream P & L statements.
