Masco Takes It'One Kitchen at a Time'

摘要

With a couple quick shots of hot glue and the rapid-fire succession of a nail gun, a cabinet moves down the final-assembly line at this Masco plant in northern Virginia en route to a loading dock where a truck trailer awaits. Workers are building the Merillat-brand cabinets in a process that the Masco Builder Cabinet Group -Culpeper Assembly Plant calls "one kitchen at a time," or KAAT. The Culpeper, Va., facility used to assemble the cabinets in batches, stocking large inventories of base and wall units intornfinished-goods inventory.
