Crafting Confectionery Solutions Since 1855

Why would a 165 year old confectionery machine manufacturer turn to Toyota for help with their production process?

Savage Brothers has been working with the Toyota Production System Support Center (TSSC) on a project to reduce lead times for one of our most popular machines, the Firemixer-14 Table Top Cooker. Through the use of Toyota Production System (TPS) tools, the Firemixer-14 is now ready to ship within days (if not the same day) of receiving an order compared to its previous 8+ week lead time. To learn more about the Firemixer-14 and the specific tools we used to achieve such a dramatic improvement in lead time, enjoy Toyota’s recently released video on the project. Savage plans to continue to use these tools on other product lines to meet the needs of our customers quicker than ever before.
