Folding Carton Plant
Annual profits increased 8 fold with Winning@Business™.

Plant had struggled for 15 years to raise the productivity from 50,000 impressions an hour to 70,000. Engineers from corporate, plant engineers, equipment manufacturers all tried many times but were unsuccessful. The plant was to the point of closing, buying new equipment or solving the problem. They talked to Management One® and then decided that what we said made sense but they should be able to do that themselves. Six months later they realized they were making no progress and called us back.

Management One® started implementing the Winning@Business™ process in July and set up teams teaching them how to solve problems. We chartered teams that included the operators on the floor running the various equipment on different shifts. By December of that same year the capacity had been increased and the plant had successfully been run at 90,000 impressions an hour. Orders were not sufficient to sustain that level of operation. The plant, one of 65 plants in the company, won the plant of the year award and annual profits from this plant were increased 8 fold.
