O.C. Tanner

The O.C. Tanner Company is the world’s leading provider of strategic employee recognition solutions. They manufacture and ship over 3.2 million corporate emblems, rings and merchandise awards annually. Of the 6000 emblems produced daily, 93% are unique pieces. In 1999, O.C. Tanner was awarded The Shingo Prize for operational Excellence. Since then, they have continued to seek perfection in lean practices. Today the O.C. Tanner one-piece flow production system is one of the best in the country. Their RFID-based lean transformation delivery system not only reduced throughput time and intellectual set-up, it also saves 6,000,000 pieces of paper per year. O.C. Tanner has a highly engaged workforce, due in part of their culture of appreciation and unique coaching system.

You will have the opportunity to choose from among four tours based on themes of Philosophy, People & Partners, Process and Problem-solving. Each of the tours will provide a hands-on opportunity to see and engage with lean practices. You’ll receive a copy of the newly published The One Page Project Manager for Execution.
