Product Kits

Label kitting is an easy idea that saves time and hassle and is a best practice for LEAN manufacturing. All the labels that must be adhered to a piece of equipment or machinery are printed on a single sheet or assembled in a kit that is so easy to use that training workers takes minutes.

The lack of a single label can bring an entire assembly line to a halt!. If that label is a mandated safety warning and it’s out of stock, production must stop until a fresh supply arrives. Manufacturers who use a label kitting system don’t have this problem because the required labels are arranged on a sheet in the order they are to be applied or assembled in a kit. As the label kits travel down the assembly line the labels are applied in order eliminating any confusion about the order of application. When the item is completely assembled, the label kitting sheet or kit will be empty.
