TWIN CITIES CHAPTER CCAI

 

ADC Telecom Plant Tour

Thursday, April 16, 2009

Afternoon Tour (1:30PM)

 

ADC has been a company in transition.  CCAI first toured the Shakopee facility 10 years ago.  Since that time they have been a company in transition and in many ways,
have had to face the problems of the changing economy ahead of much of the manufacturing sector.   This tour will be an opportunity to see how a progressive company
changes and how its coatings processes reflect those changes.

40 ATTEND TOUR OF ADC\

 

On April 16th, 40 TC-CCAI members and non-members toured the manufacturing facility of ADC in Shakopee, MN. The Director of Operations, Jerry Cash opened with a detailed presentation on ADC featuring the ADC successes through a recently initiated LEAN/SIGMA manufacturing program. Jerry shared some of the actual cost savings and avoidance savings currently realized at ADC as a result of the LEAN/SIGMA programs.

 

Our ADC tour host was Steve Miller, Sr. Manufacturing Engineer. In addition to going through the powder coating operation, the tour covered many of the other ADC operations in the 360,000 square foot building - which included machining, stampings, sheet metal and fiber optic departments

 

Thank you to the ADC Team for a the detailed and well planned tour.
