Roll-Kraft Partners with Case Western
Reserve University on Project
Roll-Kraft welcomes students from Case Western Reserve
University’s Weatherhead School of Management
Roll-Kraft is actively participating in the
Weatherhead School of Management’s Six
Sigma Continuous-Improvement Project.
Graduate students from Masters of Science in
Management-Operations Research & Supply
Chain, Masters of Business Administration,
and Masters of Engineering and Management
are involved in the Six Sigma and Quality
management course. Near the end of their
course study, the students are paired with a
local manufacturing company to allow them
to work with and observe relevant processes
in a real-life production situation and make
recommendations where methods could be
improved.
Roll-Kraft is pleased to have been accepted for
this program and is actively completing its second
semester of student involvement. Projects have
included investigating ways to reduce waste and,
this semester, determining methods to minimize
or eliminate machine down-time on the production
floor.
This program provides each student with the
experience of participating in the daily activities
of a manufacturing company. It also benefits the
company by having fresh, independent eyes on its
processes, in order to identify areas of improvement.
At the end of the project, the students present their
findings to the sponsor company. The program has
been a great success, and Roll-Kraft plans to continue
this community involvement with the university.
