Surface Manufacturing in Auburn, a manufacturer for precision spindles used in the disk drive industry that are exported to Singapore, England and China, attended a Lean Manufacturing seminar co-sponsored by CACT and the Sacramento Municipal Utility District. The company had a window of opportunity to implement lean processes at the facility. So, within a week of attending the seminar, CACT provided customized employee training in the Concepts and Application of Lean and the Principles and Practices of Visual Controls. General Manager, Rolf Rylander said, "The training set us on a path long overdue."
