Intelicoat Technologies Receives Workforce Training Fund Award

This grant will allow the following additional training:
• Operational Capability – Building basic capability and enabling small-batch production.
• Knowledge Flow – Training designed to improve flow processes, exploit operational agility and link operations more closely with customer demand.
• Operational Excellence – 1) Linking capabilities and knowledge to outside chain suppliers in order to make the supply chain leaner and more responsive. This involves material procurement, sales and marketing, design and manufacturing efforts. 2) Attacking bottlenecks throughout the processes, using Kaizen events. The goal is to make these events routine as employees become in-house-certified and trained in Kaizen techniques.
• Sustainability – Using 5S as the foundation for culture creation will allow InteliCoat to sustain not only current but also future processes that will provide the competitive edge necessary in the global market.
