Lean Manufacturing at MPP

As part of our commitment to provide customers with cost-effective, on-time product solutions, Metal Powder Products has instituted a comprehensive Lean Manufacturing program. The goal of lean manufacturing at MPP is to economically produce high quality products in varying quantities with no waste. Achieving this goal with systems that produce different products in a wide range of quantities with fast changeovers is facilitated by MPP's approach to Lean Manufacturing. Common attributes of MPP's lean manufacturing operations include the extensive use of cell manufacturing and continuous flow manufacturing.

MPP also utilizes continuous improvement programs including:

• KANBAN
• KAIZEN
• JIT
• POKA-YOKE
• 5-S

which allow MPP to work with customers to reduce costs throughout the supply chain.
