“Gordon’s Window Décor – Making Their Future Bright By Embracing 5s As Standard Work. The fundamental strengths of the 5S visual system are creating a workplace that is clean, safe and organized, and accelerating product and service flow. The on-site company project coordinated for GWD consisted of one, half day of 5S training, followed by an afternoon-long pilot project plan and implementation. It was rounded out with four half days of coaching and assistance in actual shop floor implementation.”

With VMEC‘s guidance our team is running smooth as silk. According to Brian Werneke, GWD Vice President, Continuous Improvement and Operations, “Not only did we survive the pandemic, we just secured approximately $60,000 of capital investment in the factory that will be taking place over the next 3 – 6 months. There is no question in my mind that had we not engaged VMEC when we did, the story of the last two years might be a very different one.”
