scheduling.

  1. Good Afternoon, my name is Kirk Hazen. I work at Lincoln Industries which is located in Lincoln, Nebraska. I would like to take a second to provide you with my background and then I will get into the breadth of the presentation. First of all, I would like to thank the SME committee for putting the conference together and inviting me to be a part of this experience. I am always glad to speak to the experiences of Lincoln Industries regarding the business and our Lean journey. But most of all, I love continuously learning about how others have been successful in implementing lean tools in their organizations. Like I said before, my name is Kirk Hazen, I am a licensed professional mechanical engineer. I graduated with a degree in Agricultural Engineering and I have spent the last 10 years in engineering and continuous improvement roles within organizations that are in the agricultural equipment industry or the metal finishing industry. I have experienced LEAN transformations and understand the value of this transformation and many of the struggles that go with making the leap to change. My position with Lincoln Industries is Continuous Improvement Manager, in this role, I am charged with developing and implementing strategic plans for the organization to continue its LEAN journey and provide direction to leaders in the company regarding LEAN techniques and tools. Today I would like to speak to you about lean initiatives and the impact that a company’s culture has on the success of a lean implementation. We have heard many great presentations and took some tours already during this conference that have shown us many ways to use lean tools in an organization.
  2. In a snapshot, Lincoln Industries is a 56 year old company that has 550 people working in their facilities running a 24 hour per day, 7 day per week operation. This past year, we have surpassed the $100 million mark in sales revenue. One of the most fascinating business markers for Lincoln Industries is the fact that we are able to attain 15% annual growth year over year. We are certified with quality and environmental systems and are very cognizant of the environment in which we work and live. Just to give everyone a sneak peak into the customer list that Lincoln Industries serves, we have several BIG name companies that rely on us to provide products and services. Harley-Davidson, Pella Corporation, Maytag, Tenneco Automotive, PACCAR, and Freightliner are some of our larger customers.
  3. One of the challenges that is present in our business is managing growth. We just spoke about our annual sales increase being over 15% year over year and now you get a glimpse of our employment history. We are exploding in personnel numbers and this is to handle much of the NEW business that we are bringing on. This in and of itself presents many challenges. The Lincoln job market is very tight with unemployment number hovering around 2.5%. In a city of 250,000 people, an unemployment number in this range means that it is difficult to find people to fill positions in a growing company, but yet we are finding ways to do that.
  4. I would like to now discuss one of the prestigious awards that Lincoln Industries has been a recipient of for the past 5 years. The Great Places to Work Award.
  5. If we look at the top 100 companies as defined by the Fortune 100 listing, these are the return on investment numbers that you would have realized in the 4 different situation presented here. If every year, you purchased stock of the top 100 companies to work for, your return would be nearly 15%. In contrast, if you followed the S&P over the same timeframe, you would have realized a return of just shy of 5%. These numbers demonstrate that great companies are built by great people and cultures. These companies achieve much higher results as a matter of their care and concern for the people of their organizations.
  6. As we have come to recognize, the ONLY appreciating asset in our organization is our PEOPLE. We must make sure that we are investing in our people and setting them up for success in their role in the company.
  7. Jason has been with Lincoln Industries for 1.5 years now. He was recognized as a person with the right talent to be an Area Leader in our organization. In his previous work, Jason managed a produce department at a local supermarket. His talents include a high level of concern for people and an integrity to do the right thing in all situations. People with these talent sets fit well into our business model as leaders.

  9. SAFETY We first MUST ensure that we are able to produce the product in a safe manner because nothing is more important than keeping our people safe. Therefore, if there is a safety concern or a safety incident takes place, we need to focus 100% of our energy on solving that issue prior to moving forward with production. QUALITY After we have ensured that the process to make the product is SAFE and can be repeated safely, then we need to ensure that a quality product can be made each and every time that process is followed. If we have defective products made while utilizing the standard process, we should stop producing and solve the root issue. This will ensure a high level of quality and that is our commitment to our customers. DELIVERY After we have ensured that the process is SAFE and will produce a QUALITY part every time, we now can focus on ensuring that we have the capacity and the systems in place to deliver the product to our customer in the right quantity and at the right time. If we have an issue with capacity and can not deliver on time, we must address this issue before committing to any further production volume. Solving delivery problems is equally important as all other attributes, how valuable is it to be able to make the product safely and with quality in mind, and then NOT be able to deliver to the customer. PRODUCTIVITY Once we have established a process that can be performed safely, produce a quality part each time that the process is followed, and be able to deliver to the customer what they want when they want it, then we can begin to look for a more efficient method of producing the parts. These efficiency improvements are directly related to cost of manufacture for a product. As we make cost improvements in processes, this will lead to higher profitability, greater customer satisfaction, and more competitive pricing from our organization for our customers.

  11. Does anyone remember the “sea of bumpers”? About 2.5 years ago, this is what the warehouse looked like. This is normal production, the reason that we have this picture on this slide is the fact that it demonstrates and displays each of the 8 wastes. Defective Products – Red tags on the shelves Overproduction – I do not know what else would lead to this situation but overproduction. If we were producing to the customer demand and shipping the product, we would not have this situation. Waiting – The true definition of waiting is the fact that the plating line will be needing the parts on the top shelf, half way down the aisle. In order to get to these parts, the fork lift driver will have to remove all of the product on the floor in front of the shelf, remove the product that was needed, and then put the product on the floor back in place. This sometimes would take up to 2 hours to complete. Non-utilized resources – looking for parts Transportation – Movement of product Inventory – Look at the picture Motion – Extra movement of parts to get to other product Extra Processing – Rework tags on the shelves
