Lean Manufacturing

At MAC, we embrace the importance of Lean Manufacturing. We chose the phrase “Lean Transformation” to emphasize the strategic nature of this effort. The company’s long-term business strategy incorporates the Lean Manufacturing philosophy. We understand that employing Lean Manufacturing processes reduces our customers’ inventory and business transaction costs. Our goal is to continually reduce our customer lead-time, labor time, and excess inventory. Our Lean Manufacturing technologies and processes are based on Processes, Employees, Customers, and Problem Solving. The key to our approach is a synergistic relationship of all these elements working as a complete system.

• Lean manufacturing processes reduce our inventory and business transaction costs. 
• Embracing progressive build techniques, standardized work, and pull systems drive continuous daily improvement and eliminates waste in every step of the process.
• Actively identifying and executing Kaizen events improve Cost, Quality, and Delivery.
• A tour of our factories will demonstrate our continual focus on 5S. We believe that in order to provide a quality product consistently the factory must be clean, organized and orderly.
• Lean Manufacturing is a journey that never ends and shows our commitment to continuous improvement.
