The Central Savannah River Area Lean Alliance is a
membership-based
group of area
manufacturing
companies that share
best practices in
Lean techniques and
principles by opening
their plants to each
other to study and learn
to implement Lean tools more effectively.
The
alliance is sponsored by the SC
Manufacturing
Extension Partnership
(SCMEP).
The alliance holds monthly “events” at
member plants,
typically observing Lean
techniques at the host plant. After
touring a facility, a group
discussion is facilitated to identify
strengths observed during the tour
as well as opportunities for
improvement. This discussion gives
the host plant valuable
objective feedback.
Members are required to pay dues, host an event about once a year, and participate in SCMEP's annual survey administered by NIST.
