The Low Country 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 coordinated
by the SC Manufacturing
Extension Partnership
(SCMEP); access SCMEP's site here. The alliance is supported by Trident Tech; access their site here.
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.
