Lean manufacturing often includes the utilization of shadow boards and lean tools and kits in conjunction with implementing lean practices or 5S in your shop. Watch this video to learn how Travers Tool's exclusive lean kits can further your lean efforts and heighten your shop's organization.
Getting Your Shop Organized & Lean
The Benefits Of Lean Manufacturing include increased efficiency and reduced waste, and lean manufacturing kits help to increase your organization and add efficiencies by reducing the amount of time you search for a tool. Like a shadowboard, each space perfectly outlines a specific tool, giving a home to every tool in your shop! The impact-resistant foam trays provide the added benefit of protection for each tool, as well as easy mobility. The trays can easily be switched out to and from a tool cart or cabinet as an application demands, reducing the potential set-up time a job requires and also providing easy access to the tools you need, when you need them. Exclusive foam tray lean manufacturing kits are currently offered featuring solutions from brands including Bondhus, Channellock, Irwin, Pica, Proto, Wera and more. Lean kits featuring fitted foam within impact resistant cases are available with popular Rushmore USA End Mills and measuring tools from trusted brands including Mitutoyo, Noga, and Tesa Brown & Sharpe.
