139. Custom Injection Molding and the Lean Manufacturing Process
Custom injection plastic molding have always been a fast moving and challenging business. It also has a high potential for profit, even today, despite the international competition and tight margins.
Plastic injection molders are in the almost ideal business to benefit from the lean production tooling process. If you embrace the entire concept and do not cherry pick the parts that are quick and easy, you will most certainly experience improvements in your operation.
It is a good idea to talk to successful shop owners who have benefited from the lean production tooling process. You will find them enthusiastic and quite willing to open up, for the most part. You should also read and gather information so you can make wise decisions rather than totally rely on the opinion of a consultant. At last, you will certainly need outside help, but you also need a thorough clear understanding of the process.
