Synchronized Seating Solutions at Isringhausen

Enrollment Opens on February 26 at 8AM

“Two Plants in One” describes Isringhausen USA. Established in Ladson to be adjacent to the Mercedes Benz Van assembly operation, the high-volume seat manufacturing operation is a model of synchronized production. Signals are received from the customer each time a van reaches the paint operation. The seats, specific to that vehicle, are then completely built and delivered when the van moves to the assembly operation.

On the other side of a shared purchased parts warehouse is the “other plant.”  A low-volume/high-mix portfolio of 500 vehicle seat SKUs is produced for customers including the U.S. Navy, heavy equipment producers, and others. Join this plant visit to see how Isringhausen utilizes a Quick Kaizen culture to continuously improve flexibility, customer responsiveness, quality and cost.
