Hanover, PA – Leonhardt Manufacturing Company, Inc., a manufacturer of tubular products and metal fabrications, was recently a featured stop on the Association for Manufacturing Excellence (AME) facility tours during the International Manufacturing Excellence Conference held in Baltimore, MD.
Located just under 50 miles northwest of the conference and Baltimore, the tour of Leonhardt’s facility offered conference-goers a firsthand look at lean manufacturing processes in action. A total of 20 manufacturing facilities featured shop tours during the conference including such companies as Harley Davidson, Volvo Powertrain, Northrop Grumman Electronics Systems, and Siemens Healthcare Diagnostics.
AME conducts tours, unlocking the doors of the best factories around North America for manufacturers that are hungry for knowledge. The intent is to showcase facilities that demonstrate excellence in lean manufacturing techniques including Value Stream Mapping, cellular manufacturing, Kanban, Poka-Yoke, and visual management. Host facilities graciously open their doors so their employees can proudly show others what they have achieved and offer other manufacturers an opportunity to talk to the employees that actually make excellence happen every day.
Leonhardt, who specializes in tube bending and highly decorative tubular products, was selected for their implementation and everyday practice of lean manufacturing techniques in their manufacturing and fabrication facility.
