University of Washington: Keen on Lean
Faced with a deficit just two years ago, the University of Washington’s in-plant has turned its financial situation around and repositioned itself for success by implementing Lean production practices.
"Customer outreach and marketing is now key for us," Davis stresses. "We used to wait for customers to bring work to us, because we could. Now we have to go to them."
The in-plant finished its 2010-2011 fiscal year with a $300,000 profit.
"That money will be used to pay down the deficit we acquired, and we expect to finish with a profit again in the 2011-2012 fiscal year," Davis reports. By all accounts, within UW Creative Communications, Lean production has been well met.
