Featured Case Study
Case Study:
Multi-site paper products company
A multi-site capital and process-intensive paper products company that provides quality paper for various print and converting customers was facing multiple challenges related to long lead times, efficiency issues, and turnover. Changes in product mix, leadership turnover, and complicated systems fueled a reactive problem-solving environment where the root-cause issues were not identified or fixed. This resulted in lower customer satisfaction through missed or late shipments, and a challenging work environment with excessive overtime, low productivity, and morale issues.
