Lean: Drill Press Double Stop

Published: 12/25/11

We did another improvement to the drill table to save even more time.  If you look back, you will notice that we've done many small improvements to this table and they've added up to a HUGE timesaver.  This operation is no longer a constraint anymore and we can tackle the next problem area, box making.

 

Lean: Shipping Labels

Published: 12/24/11

UPS offers free pouches for labels printed on standard paper. We would print out the label on a standard 8.5"x11" sheet and slip in the plastic pouch. We got the pouch for free but we still had to pay for paper and toner. Not only that, but it was a real hassle to put labels on boxes and slip them in the pouches. We purchased a label printer and now create less waste and have eliminated paper/toner costs. We have also gained 7 seconds PER LABEL in time savings. It doesn't sound like much but for every thousand boxes you save 2 HOURS.

 

New Kit Revisions and Z-Axis Binding Problem Fix

We have released a new kit revision.  Sorry it has taken me so long to get the videos on about the kit revisions.  Here is a video detailing the differences between the old revisions and the new revisions.
