Success Story: Hesselbein Tire Co., Inc.
Increasing Efficiency With Raymond Lean Management

Hesselbein Tire Co., Inc., a leading tire wholesaler in North America, was experiencing high turnover at several of its facilities, leading to inefficient operations, fulfillment errors, and difficulty meeting increased demand. The company turned to Malin for a solution that would help improve employee retention and optimize its operations.
With the implementation of Raymond Lean Management (RLM), Hesselbein was able to create a more engaged employee culture, resulting in higher moral, workforce retention, and ultimately better service for customers. In fact, as employee engagement increased, the turnover rate decreased significantly, falling from 60% to 25%.

About Raymond Lean Management
-
Raymond Lean Management (RLM) procedures and techniques are based on the world-renowned Toyota Production System (TPS), which focuses on waste reduction through visualization, standardized work, target-based key performance indicators (KPIs), and continuous improvement activities to provide the best possible solutions.
When applied correctly, RLM can effectively and efficiently produce optimized processes for all aspects of a company’s core business functions, ultimately leading to cost savings that can be used to purchase intralogistics solutions for the task at hand or reinvested throughout the organization.
