Senco’s Lean Transformation • Productivity increased from from 3.5 to 6 tools per man hour • Changeover time for tool cells dropped from 40 to 5 minutes • From 4 months to 8 days of finished goods tool inventory • Fastener manufacturing rate of 4.6 defects per million opportunities • Tripled cash flow, reduced fixed overhead by 28% & WIP by $MM’s • Next challenge is to consolidate Cincinnati Tool and Fastener operations
