Our Process
From quoting to delivery, Lakehouse Industries is dedicated to industry-leading consistency and quality.
Lean Manufacturing
Single piece flow is our focus, where we have adjusted our processes to efficiently produce one part at a time. By perfecting this small unit, scaling up a project simply involves replicating the setup. Additionally, this approach enables us to establish highly consistent setups and improves the quality of the parts produced. This is done through the use of in-process quality inspection, which allows for real-time monitoring of the parts and minimizes the need for rework. Additionally, this approach also allows us to quickly identify and address any issues that may arise, ensuring timely delivery of high-quality parts. Overall, single piece flow allows us to streamline our production processes and deliver consistent, top-quality results.
JIT Manufacturing
At Lakehouse Industries, we understand the importance of manufacturing goods in an efficient and cost-effective manner. That’s why we have implemented a just-in-time (JIT) manufacturing approach.
JIT manufacturing is a method of production that aims to minimize inventory and maximize efficiency by producing goods only as they are needed. This approach enables us to produce goods when they are needed and reduce waste, saving both time and money.
One of the main benefits of JIT manufacturing is cost reduction. By minimizing inventory, we save on storage and warehousing expenses. Additionally, JIT manufacturing reduces the risk of stockouts, which can lead to lost sales and customer dissatisfaction.
JIT manufacturing also improves quality by reducing the amount of defects and rework. We implement a “pull” system, where production is triggered by customer demand, rather than a “push” system, where production is based on forecasts and estimates. This approach allows us to identify and address quality issues in a timely manner, resulting in higher customer satisfaction and retention.
JIT manufacturing also increases responsiveness to market demand by enabling us to quickly adapt to changes in customer demand. This is achieved by shortening lead times and reducing the time it takes to bring new products to market. This allows us to take advantage of new opportunities and stay competitive in the marketplace.
Furthermore, JIT manufacturing promotes a culture of continuous improvement. The focus on reducing inventory and increasing efficiency encourages us to constantly seek out ways to improve our processes and reduce waste, which in turn improves our overall production efficiency and cost.
Rapid Prototyping
Affordable Production
Lakehouse Industries can produce and deliver parts in a week through the use of rapid prototyping techniques. Rapid prototyping is a group of technologies that allows us to quickly create physical models of designs. These technologies allow us to quickly create and test prototypes of parts, which can then be used to create final production parts in a relatively short amount of time.
