One of the largest meetings to date, 34 professionals gathered at Admiral Packaging’s headquarters to discuss first-hand the successful implementation of LEAN manufacturing principles and share the philosophy, tools, and techniques surrounding best practices.

“Being recognized by the NELC for our LEAN manufacturing performance is a true honor, and shows our company-wide commitment to an efficient and productive work environment,” said Harley Frank, President of Admiral Packaging. “The NELC is integral to promoting LEAN principles across industries, and it’s an immense privilege to contribute to their mission through hosting the Lean Leaders Meeting.”

“Since incorporating LEAN manufacturing into facility operations, Admiral Packaging has consolidated manufacturing square footage by 50 percent and offset a 7 percent increase in material costs through efficiency practices,” said Carroll. “These notable stats speak to the culture of teamwork at the facility, and the true dedication our employees demonstrate daily.”

While showcasing facility efficiencies during the event’s site tour, participants were encouraged to ask questions and share ideas, creating a valuable forum for educational dialogue that deepened the knowledge of LEAN manufacturing across industry professionals.
