DJO Kaizen & Kiva
KAIZEN is Japanese for "improvement" or "change for the better"
DJO, Incorporated, an orthopedic devices manufacturer based in Vista, CA, uses lean principles to set their standards of excellence. "Our motto here at DJO is to 'Never stop getting better,'" says Steve Martin, Director of Operations at DJO's Indianapolis distribution center. "Kaizen, or continuous improvement, is really the heart of our culture here at DJO." And the principles of kaizen led DJO to choose Kiva Systems for their materials handling solution in their Indianapolis distribution center (DC).
In true kaizen spirit, Kiva Systems not only allows but encourages DJO's continuous improvement.
Read how order processing throughput for DJO improved by 40% the day they started using Kiva. DJO further cites that Kiva has allowed them to maintain their accountability while significantly improving their productivity and shortening order cycle times.
