Harvesting Efficiency: Lean Production for the Modern Manufacturer
The owners, designers and contractors for the new Demeter 4.0 Millwork Manufacturing facility had a goal to create an optimized space to continue creating high end products and minimizing waste. This fourth iteration of the Demeter facility will include high bay space and robotic components along with an on-site office for the team.
The topics discussed will include:
- Owner site selection and considerations in build vs. buy
- Design collaboration process and just-in-time decisions
- Construction phase measures to eliminate waste
- Automation in facility operation
Please join us at the new Demeter 4.0 on Tuesday, June 30 to hear more about the project background and lessons learned.
