Many North American kaizen events often lead to fork truck free environments in manufacturing according to Topper Industrial. Kaizen is Japanese for improvement and when used in the business sense and applied to the workplace, kaizen refers to activities that continuously improve all functions and involve all employees from the CEO to the assembly line workers. Kaizen is a daily process; it goes beyond simple productivity improvement. It is also a process that humanizes the workplace, eliminates overly hard work, and teaches people how to perform experiments on their work using the scientific method and how to learn to spot and eliminate waste in business processes.

Topper Industrial will be exhibiting at ProMat 2017, the largest expo for the manufacturing and supply chain industries from April 3-6, 2016 in Chicago's McCormick Place at booth #S3814.

The development in modern industrial production is driven by fierce competition according to Ed Brown, CEO and Founder of Topper Industrial. Brown, who holds various patents in regards to material handling equipment advancements, suggests that both innovation and cost control are two important factors for success. Lean production, including continuous improvement achieved with kaizen events, as well as Six Sigma and Theory of Constraints, benchmark the reality of market-driven developments including shorter product life cycles, and extreme SKU proliferation.

Fork truck free initiatives are supported by Theory of Constraints (ToC), according to Topper Industrial. The underlying premise of the Theory of Constraints is that organizations can be measured and controlled by variations on three measures: throughput, operational expense, and inventory. Inventory is all the money that the system has invested in purchasing things which it intends to sell. Operational expense is all the money the system spends in order to turn inventory into throughput. Throughput is the rate at which the system generates money through sales.
