Squeezing Out the Waste to Make More Space in Shipping and Distribution
Creating a Vision WIKA USA began its lean journey in 2001. Today the company has abandoned high- volume, batch manufacturing and has fully embraced product variation and smaller order quantities. WIKA’s 210,000 sq.-ft U.S. headquarters and factory in Lawrenceville, GA, can now assemble and deliver over 50,000 different product configurations in a few days. It also ships 1,400 different stock items the same day that orders are received.
