Lean Enterprise

Seelye Craftsmen Co. began it's Lean Journey early on in 2005. We began by attacking the non-value added activities associated with work flow on the shop floor. The first Kaizen event was such a success we couldn't wait to get started on the next. Since then we have completed over 15 Kaizen events and numerous "point" events. We have seen our overall lead times shrink, our on-time delivery percentages improve, our WIP and raw material inventories decline and our productivity skyrocket! The philosophy of Lean has really taken root at Seelye Craftsmen Co.. But, are we done? Not by a longshot. Instead of weeklong events, as we did in the begining, we now aim to complete our Kaizen events in no more than two days. Lean has also spilled over into the front office. Improving work order flow, purchasing activities and accounting functions.
 

Lean is about doing more with less:
Less time, inventory, space, people, & money.
Lean is about speed and getting it right the first time.
Lean is about eliminating waste.
 
As long as there is a process to improve, we will continually work to remove waste and improve Seelye Craftsmen Co.
