Never. Stop. Improving. Thanks to Norm; operational excellence, continual process improvement, and lean manufacturing methods have been a part of our Byrne culture since day one. But on a stop in Japan while exploring new manufacturing practices in Asia, Norm heard the word “Kaizen.’ Translated, the definition of Kaizen is about getting a group together to spend a dedicated amount of time making continuous changes, no matter how small, to improve the production process. Upon hearing the definition Norm said, “That sounds like common sense manufacturing to me!” – and the term ‘CSM’ was born at Byrne. Byrne executes nearly fifteen CSM’s a month; from setting up more efficient production processes to cleaning out warehouses to integrating new techniques that streamline our global supply chains.
