Productivity Improvement for Niagara Countertops
FY 2023-24 · 2023-04-01
Summary
Implement productivity improvements for the laminate countertop process to reduce operating costs and increase productivity and efficiency to enable larger scale production, in preparation for expansion and scale growth. Our project seeks to focus on each aspect of the production cycle - from raw material acquisition through the finished goods shipping process - to shorten the cycle times for order-to-delivery/cash, improve customer satisfaction, reduce the amount of movement of goods, and allow for expansion in total capacity within the same footprint, machine capacity, and employee base, as the beginnings of a journey to acquire greater market share and expand into higher-demand markets.

Description (French)
Améliorer la productivité du processus de fabrication des comptoirs en stratifié afin de réduire les coûts d'exploitation et d'augmenter la productivité et l'efficacité pour permettre une production à plus grande échelle, en vue d'une expansion et d'une croissance de l'échelle. Notre projet vise à se concentrer sur chaque aspect du cycle de production - de l'acquisition des matières premières au processus d'expédition des produits finis - afin de raccourcir les temps de cycle de la commande à la livraison/l'encaissement, d'améliorer la satisfaction des clients, de réduire la quantité de mouvements de marchandises et de permettre l'expansion de la capacité totale dans la même empreinte, la capacité des machines et la base d'employés, comme les débuts d'un voyage pour acquérir une plus grande part de marché et s'étendre sur des marchés à plus forte demande.
