Lean Manufacturing

AN INTRODUCTION TO

Lean Manufacturing

With a Powder Handling System that enables Lean Manufacturing, you can improve efficiencies, and reduce your overall manufacturing costs. Applying the correct production methods and equipment in your factory will ensure that you get it right the first time and every time to increase your return on investment.

Using the Matcon IBC method of manufacturing, shorter production runs can be implemented as recipe batch changeovers are quicker and simpler. This means you can ‘make-to-order’ with small inventory levels and minimal work in progress (WIP). You can also cut waste, delivery times and better manage costs, leading to a higher return on the materials you purchase.

Break The Chain

The decoupled nature of our materials handling system gives total flexibility and the agility to respond rapidly to changing customer and market needs.
