Examples of Past Work Performed Actual Results from a LEAN Manufacturing Project in USA (Results after 6 Months) • Successfully introduced and implemented comprehensive LEAN Manufacturing Processes across 3 Portfolio Companies (at the same time) specializing in stamping and complex welding with annual revenue of $400m. These LEAN Processes included; Toyota Production System, Standardized Operations, SQDCMRS (Safety, Quality, Delivery/Productivity, Cost, People, Revenue, and Speed) KPi Performance Metrics, Throughput Management Process, Quality Gate Launch Process for new parts, Detailed Plant Floor Layered Process Audits, Six Sigma Black Belt Process, Stamping and Welding Standards, Daily Financial Total Cost Management Tracking, and Supply Chain Development. • In the first six (6) months, the annual ongoing cost savings were over $17M per year and with an additional $20M of cash generated from reducing the inventory levels. • Specific Achievements include: • Reduced the “Break Even Point” by 33%. • Safety - Reduced OSHA Recordables by 150%. • Quality - Improvements saving $5M/year (Improved PPMs by 700% resulting in reduced internal & external sorting/inspection - $3.5M savings, decreased destruct tests - $1.5M savings). ISO/TS Certifications and Audits to 100% across company. • Delivery - Supply chain cost reductions of $7M/year (China sourcing, Single source scrap control, and Freight Utilization Improvements). • Productivity - Increased throughput by 15% per plant. Realized 25% headcount reduction. - $6M/year savings. • Cash - Instituted Inventory reduction process generating $20M Cash (70% reduction - $30M to $10M) • Performance Results: • Safety Frequency Rate now at a World Class Level of 1.1. • Quality PPM rates today at a World Class 4 ppm. • On time delivery now at 100%.
Examples of Past Work Performed Actual Results from a LEAN Manufacturing Project in CHINA (Results after 6 Months) • Safety • Have now gone over one year without any Safety Accidents in the Plant(s) • Quality (Customer) • Went from 1,000 PPM’s to Zero PPM’s & Zero QIR’s for over one year • Went for Last Place (#16 in 4/2011) to First Place (#1 in 4/2012) in Suzuki’s Ranking of Stamping & Welding Suppliers in China • Went from being on the “NOT allowed to Bid on New Work List” (because of past performance and lack of quality processes) in Q3 of 2011 to “Preferred Supplier List” in April 2012 with Suzuki, Chang An, JCI, LEAR and other Customers. • Quality (Internal) • Went from Checking & Repairing 300% of the parts to 0% Checking & Repairing of the parts on eight (8) totally different Final Assembly Part Numbers (IP Cross Car Beam, Seats, Steering Column Support Bracket, Radiator Assembly, Engine Tubes, Others) • Delivery • 100% On Time Delivery for over one year • Eliminated the need for a Third Party Warehouse for Finished Goods • Eliminated 33% of the Inventory ($4M USD) • Cost • ROI of 17 Times what was spent to Implement LEAN Manufacturing • Saved Manpower, Space, Scrap, Inventory, Needs for new Capital Equipment, Others
How we can assist you and your Suppliers • Statement of the Current Situation/Problem • Your Company receives many parts, components, and sub-assemblies from suppliers located in North America. Some of these suppliers struggle with the quality of their products delivered directly to You or to Your Tier 1 Suppliers. • Suppliers that deliver parts that do not meet Your Quality Standard are put on Third Party Containment (100% inspection of each part until the parts are proven to be OK by achieving X days without a reoccurrence of the same quality issue), at the Supplier’s expense. • Some of these Suppliers have been on and off of Third Party Containment over and over and over for many years. • Third Party Containment “Protects the Customer”, but is also very disruptive to You and Your Tier 1 Suppliers. It causes many issues such as the need for floor space in your plant, extra warehouse space, extra inventory, FiFO issues, inefficiencies in indirect labor functions, other cost issues. • For some “Problem Suppliers”, Third Party Containment is a “Band Aid”, and some of these “Problem Suppliers” have not been able to find and correct the real root cause(s) for shipping parts that do not meet Your Quality Standards; and therefore can not eliminate the very frequent requirement for Third Party Containment. • North American Market Analysis • The North American Automotive OEM Production Forecast is seen as to continue to grow at about 10% per year for the next five (5) years, getting back to the 16M level by 2016cy. • The larger impending problem is that this additional NA volume will cause the “Problem Suppliers” to have even more quality spills. WHY? Many of these “Problem Supplier Companies” do NOT have: Strong Leadership, Experienced Workforce, Mature Quality Processes, Mature Quality Systems, Ability to Problem Solve, Training, LEAN Manufacturing Systems, etc.; consequently; will have many more Quality Spills that will continue to have negative effects on Your Production in North America. • Your future outlook is to continue with more Third Party Containment Activities

Examples of LEAN TRAINING MATERIALS What does a truly Great Company with Lean Manufacturing look like? All employees of our company help us move closer and closer to “True North” every day. “True North” can never be totally achieved, however, everyone works together and strives toward the following: • Zero (0) Safety Accidents • Zero (0) PPM Rate of Quality • 100% on Time Delivery to Customers • Lowest Cost Producer in our Industry • Zero (0) Absenteeism, Zero (0) Employee Turnover, Many Suggestions to Improve, People Working Together as a True Team • Innovative & Flexible Organization that can Move Quickly
Examples of LEAN TRAINING MATERIALS What does a truly Great Company with Lean Manufacturing look like? When a problem occurs (Safety, Quality, Delivery); • They find the real root cause and implement a permanent countermeasure/solution that will never let this type of problem happen again! • Actions are taken to permanently change the old method of doing business so that the company never has to re-fix the same problem again! • They seek other places this countermeasure/ solution will resolve other similar issues. This ‘read across’helps speed up improving the company and also helps our people to learn across the entire company. • They Write Down and Standardize the New Best Process/Method/Procedure
Third Party Containment • Quick true story....we went into a JCI plant in Alabama that had over 100 3rd party inspectors/rework people with three (3) different companies (additionally with all of the fixed cost of supervisors, etc.). They were 200% and 300% inspecting/reworking parts because of poor performance of the 3rd party companies. • We installed standardized work, got to only 100% inspection/rework, and solved many of their quality problems for them (by finding the root cause) and got this down to only 30 inspectors/reworkers. Their customers are also very happy with them now because they are really holding "clean points" for countermeasures and/or 3rd party inspection containment. • We charged them the same hourly rate per person but saved them millions of dollars per year through LEAN Manufacturing of the Third Party Containment Activities.
Why are we unique? When the Quality Engineer is combined with our trained inspectors and our manufacturing quality processes, the results have always been impressive. People are accountable, deadlines are met, data is accurate. With each project we provide the following… • Quality Engineer lead inspection teams • Detailed work instruction with customer approval • Inspector training and management • Production process material flow • Non-conforming material control • 2nd level engineer audit of all completed totes/racks/parts • Daily customer data reporting by shift The bottom line is always cost. The level of service achieved by the addition of our Quality Engineer is typically at no additional cost, however, the value that is provided to this experience is immeasurable! In all cases, the Quality Engineer provides our guarantee that we become the one supplier our customers do not have to manage.
