Autocam Production System

"The key to our success is kaizen, or continuous improvement. The Autocam Production System (APS) is the tool we use to ensure that we achieve the maximum benefit from our kaizen efforts."
John Kennedy, Autocam CEO

Based on the foundation of the Toyota Production System (TPS), our company-wide lean manufacturing approach has resulted in a proven track record of operational excellence. This starts Autocam's investment in employee training and workshops. Internally, APS is referred to as the 'Journey to Perfection.' Part of that journey includes such topics as;

• Stable Process
• Leveling
• Total Productive Maintenance
• Reduce Variation
• 5S Visual Control
• Value Steam Mapping

Executing this approach starts with creating a stable and measureable environment. From that basis Autocam's procedures drive the organization to be accountable for identifying and eliminating waste of any kind.

APS is the way that Autocam captures the innovation and human capital that makes it a technical leader in the machining of high precision products. Engaging Autocam's workforce under this approach improves the company's culture, satisfies the customer's demand for quality and delivery, and reduces costs to ensure Autocam remains a competitive, industry leader.
