Raise Your Shop Floor to a Higher Level

BRISTOL, Conn. - July 26, 2018 - PRLog -- As US Manufacturers struggle to stay competitive in a Global Economy, finding cost cutting and production efficiencies become crucial.  Enter Novo Precision and their line of Lean Solutions to help manufacturers drive up production and down costs.  Their latest product are the New Lean Metrics Stands, designed at their headquarters in Bristol, and are designed to help management to accurately track production and more importantly identify potential problems before they affect quality and delivery.
Bill Hazard, Novo President and LMS designer, has spent over 20 years in the field consulting for some of the largest companies in almost every field.  In each of these companies one of his main objectives was raising the level of operations and aligning his teams to a higher standard.  He developed a system of monitoring and tracking results in near real time with an enhanced focus on SQDCM (Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost and Morale).
The Lean Metrics Stand from Novo Precision is a turnkey system to support your Daily Operational Management. This durably constructed, small footprint metrics stand is meant to be on your shop floor right at the process. The Lean Metrics Stand gets your team engaged with a standard set of metrics around Safety, Quality, Delivery, Cost, and Morale tracked daily and to provide transparency to all your team members.
The stand comes with downloadable metrics sheets that can be customized to fit different industries.  At Novo, employees can be seen throughout the day engaging with the boards.  "They really become a hub in our manufacturing, team meetings are held around them and our Daily Gemba walk uses the boards exclusively" says Hazard.  "The boards help us tell the story to current and potential customers, they help management identify improvement areas and most importantly help our employees feel apart of the team and set goals and let them know if they won the day".
The Lean Metric Stands are currently in many corporations large and small, so what is next for Novo and Hazard?  "We have already looked at redesigns for the current stand and also adding different models for Shipping or Office areas.  We are also looking to move them to digital including attachable monitors or IPads in which the end user will be able to present information with just a swipe of the screen."
So if you want to bring your Shop Floor up to the next level give Novo Precision a call and order a Lean Metric Stand.  Bulk discounts are available and Novo does ship their products internationally.  Mr. Hazard has also started a blog about the origins and uses of the metric stand and sheets provided at https://www.novoprecision.com/blog/lean-solutions/ .Check this product as well as their wide variety of machinery and services at www.novoprecision.com or give a call at (860) 583-0517.
