Presentation: The Journey of Lean In A Traditional Business Given By Chief Financial Officer, Duane Prentice, of Hatco Inc.
Duane enabled breakeven EBITDA for a business which had lost $100M EBIT over the preceding four years (including a$37M EBIT loss in prior year) and generated a $23M positive free cash flow. He knows LEAN!
Manufacturers across the United States face similar profit and loss issues no matter what industry they represent. Issues that lean can fix cover a range of areas within the organization to:
- lower costs
- streamline processes
- implement organizational cultures that increase productivity and quality of the products
One such company that has ventured on this lean journey is Hatco, located in Garland, Texas. As a hat manufacturer with a rich history, Hatco has focused on resolving these issues with Duane.
The following topics will be presented at the March Learn @ Lunch:
