Momentum 399TH
Going to the Momentum factory today to take a look at the 399TH and to see how its put together and to see how organized and clean their facility is. Will post my thoughts here in a couple days.

Take it with whatever you want..I'm talking manufacturing the way it was meant to be done and the way it should be done, and the way ITIS done in places that take pride in what they do...You may be a certain age, but don't really understand all you think you do..I've worked for Ingersoll Rand, Hercules and Continental Automotive, covering 41 yrs of manufacturing as an Engineer, Production Supervisor, Machining Supervisor, Quality Supervisor and did many a training sessions with 5S, Lean Training and Ergonomics, and on..I know how it is "supposed" to be. 24/7, which is hours we worked in the above plants due to production demands...all companies being ISO compliant.....We couldn't make excuses as to why something was messy...it wasn't allowed..Your idea of manufacturing is WORLDS apart from real life for world leaders in manufacturing...but, believe what you want...go to a real manufacturing plant sometime, GM, BMW. Mercedes, heck, I'll walk you through my plant and THEN tell me about your idea of what a world class manufacturing plant should look like...ZERO NOK's being the set point.."Quality without compromise" being the creedo.
Well said. Many times when I will walk out into the plant the first thing that happens is one of the production managers will grab me very quickly and explain why something is on the floor... Large sheets of material needed to be separated and the bad stuff weeded out... Whatever.... Theres a good reason. They clean it all up before moving onto the next process and the supplier is sent pictures and we explain this won't happen again...
My feeling is that if I provide my team a clean and safe work environment I will get a better product and happier team. Its a win win.
If your plant is a **** show something is wrong and whats coming out of it is not what it should be. I wouldn't buy a trailer from a plant as described.
