Weiss credits the employees with making sure that Lean Manufacturing is more than a “program of the month” and incorporating it into the company culture. He especially recognizes the role the union has played. “For our union employees in particular, it is clear that the Lean culture is saving jobs and making us more competitive. The union leadership has welcomed Lean and has been fully engaged in promoting the benefits to the employees and the company,” he says.
