Twenty three Affinity Medical team members recently completed our first Cell Champion training program. The 9 week course was designed to provide leadership and Lean Manufacturing training to those selected to be the company’s Work Cell Champions.
Increasing the number of our team members that are trained is another milestone accomplished in the company’s quest to achieve Manufacturing Excellence. Our Cell Champions will play a key role in educating the rest of the manufacturing team to Lean Manufacturing Principles and Continuous Improvement.
Congratulations to all who completed our Cell Champion training.

At Affinity, we embrace Lean Manufacturing and are nearing completion of Phase 1 of our production floor reconfiguration. Implementing Lean Manufacturing has already added benefits of increased throughput, reduced inventory and higher product quality.
Phase II will further build on our Lean efforts, reducing lead times for our customers by smoothing the flow of products through the plant. Besides improving production, embracing Lean Manufacturing has improved our cultural landscape with greater involvement by every team member.
Our Lean journey continues to the benefit of the company, our team members and our valued customer partners.
