lean manufacturing is a people-driven thing at CCI Conveyor Pulleys


North Carolina State University IES improves the competitiveness of North Carolina businesses through understanding and implementing lean enterprise business systems. We emphasize implementation of lean enterprise principles and practices based on the Toyota Production System (TPS)* through customized on-site applications and public workshops. From the office to the shop floor, lean can benefit any department as well as any industry. Using our lean solutions, tools and expertise, you will build a customer-focused organization that produces products and services of the highest quality and lowest cost, utilizing only value-added activities.
