While looking to change the market focus for its products, L.B. Foster Threaded Products determined that a new manufacturing plant was needed. This new and improved lean-influenced facility allowed the company to eliminate waste while improving productivity and creating a safer work environment. This led to a 76% reduction in scrap and rework costs and an increase to 99% for on-time delivery. As a result, the company has seen a dramatic improvement in overall productivity and efficiency.
