Situation
Videology had dedicated resources to implement continuous improvement methodologies within key production areas, including assembly and testing, the stockroom and shipping functional areas. However, limited project management resources were available to actively pursue continuous improvement strategies, due to competing priorities of critical production activities.
The organization sought project management support to develop, implement, and maintain improved manufacturing process flow in partnership with Polaris MEP promote and cultivate continuous improvement culture within the shop through hands-on learning activities.Â
