Our Production TeamJefferson State Forest Products (JSFP) has actively implemented the "Jefferson Production System", a lean manufacturing method streamlining all aspects of the manufacturing process with the goal of eliminating waste. We strive to eliminate all forms of waste in the manufacturing process of our products, from the materials that are used, to the man hours required to build them. The JPS starts with a focus on the customer, our goal is to provide them with the very best products achievable at the most economical price possible. One of the ways we do this is by removing waste from all of our business systems. We define waste as anything the end customer would not be willing to pay for. We have identified which activities actually contribute to “value added” versus actions which do not. It is the “non-value added” actions that we focus on to achieve the leanest production system possible, by aggressively streamlining these actions or eliminating them altogether when viable. Our goal is to create a continuous flow of materials everywhere; we do this by arranging our production activities sequentially with no wait time between them. When we do this several things happen; we reduce extra handling, require less floor space and dramatically reduce the time a product takes to complete the production line, along with exposing more waste that has always been in the system. Once the waste is exposed, we work hard to find its root cause and eliminate it. Our objective is to maintain a steady, continuous flow of the product, materials, and information throughout the entire production system. Standardized production methods including “set-up time”, allows for providing a detailed description of how the product is manufactured, assuring that each item will be built to exact specifications every time. All JSFP fixtures are built to order. Items are only manufactured after an order has been received, reducing costly inventory and preventing waste. We have instituted a method of “one piece flow” to improve quality, allowing us to implement “quality control” on each item rather than a batch of several items, to guarantee customer satisfaction every time. Our skilled employees make up our extensively trained production team; each of whom is an integral part of the Jefferson Production System and its continuous improvement. Customer Comments"We are very happy with the bins as far as quality, workmanship and stain match…thank you for your excellent service and follow-up." "Because they are not a huge conglomerate…a dollar to JSFP goes a long way." "The design is elegant, functional, and unique. The design does an incredible job of showing off the best features of the wood…the softness and depth of the quilted maple, and warmth that the black walnut trim really enhances the presentation…" "They speak the Whole Foods language" "The super bins are the building blocks for my displays. I love them and they have held up very well" "I couldn’t be happier with the entire team at Jefferson" "Using the Icovia room planner has allowed me to greatly reduce the time of project planning and execution. It has also allowed me to leave each department with an essential tool for Team Leaders and Specialists to communicate merchandising changes and evaluate positioning for margin and sales driving."
