Every product has its own jig, its own drawing, and its own <a href=\"\/\">GembaDocs SOP<\/a> posted at the point of use, with a QR code on the fixture that pulls up a step-by-step build video on the spot. Variation is designed out before an operator picks up a tool. The flagship Varimount 350, which once took four weeks to build, now gets done in a single day &#8211; the result of one-piece flow, tightened standard work, and a team that makes small improvements daily.<\/p>\n<p class=\"whitespace-normal break-words\">Bringing blasting and powder coating in-house, previously split across a second plant ten kilometres away, was one of the biggest turning points. Before the consolidation, trailers were making up to four runs a day between sites. Quality was hard to check. Lead times were unpredictable. Within a few months of pulling everything onto one site, lead times shortened, quality improved, and the team culture visibly shifted. People who had been working in isolation started contributing improvement ideas.
