Hospital group interacts with the Clear View management team to share experiences on the implementation of lean manufacturing.
Albany-Schenectady-Troy, NY (1888PressRelease) June 10, 2015 - A group of from the Albany Medical Center recently visited Clear View Bag to tour the facility and to see lean manufacturing principles in action. Led by Don Wiesenforth, Assistant Director of Innovation at the Medical Center, the group interacted with the Clear View management team to share experiences on the implementation of lean manufacturing for the custom plastic bag manufacturer.
Clear View Bag started working six years ago with the Center for Economic Growth in Albany to learn how to turn lean manufacturing into a management philosophy. The group was surprised at how many similarities there were between the manufacturing environment and the operations at the Medical Center. "One of our lean philosophies is that it's the process not the people and that notion holds true on the production line and in the operating room. Our lean journey is still in its infancy but we have made many strides and attribute much of our success today to our lean practices. Our lean journey is still in its infancy but we have made many strides and attribute much of our success today to our lean practices," said Clear View Bag Vice President Trent Romer.
The visit was mutually beneficial for both parties as just the discussion of our six year journey reminds us of how far we have come. One visitor commented that this time together served to give her a "lean recharge", said Romer.
Clear View plans to visit the Medical Center in the near future to continue the collaboration.
