The Incito Consulting Group utilizes decades of experience to assist you in the design and deployment of practical, real-world Lean Six Sigma solutions within the metal casting and foundry industry. Metal Casting & Foundry The foundry and casting industry faces tremendous challenges in today’s competitive environment. Modern metal casting and foundry providers have evolved so far beyond their early metal-working roots as to be nearly unrecognizable. They’re streamlined, forward-thinking and innovative producers that maximize their manufacturing of castings and components that are used throughout a wide variety of other industries. The most successful foundries achieve their goals with well-trained teams, a culture of continuous improvement, and sustainability initiatives that lead to the best outcomes for customers. How Incito Can Help The industry understands the importance of increasing world-class quality, capability and innovation while dramatically reducing lead time and increasing first pass yield.
