Who is Casey Bralla?

I am an energetic, seasoned engineering executive with over 25 years experience as a Lean Champion, Engineering Manager, Plant Manager, Quality Manager, Continuous Improvement Manager, and Manufacturing Engineer working with industrial, automotive, and consumer products.

I have direct experience in:

Direct Labor efficiency improvements utilizing Lean Manufacturing and 5S principles
Inventory and WIP reductions utilizing Kan Ban
Scrap & Defect reduction utilizing Standard Work procedures and Poke Yoke devices
5S and Lean Manufacturing implementation
Kaizen Blitz implementation.
ISO/TS-16949 manufacturing systems.
Multi-million dollar capital project management.
Ergonomic analysis and improvement.
Machining, Metal forming, Molding, Painting, custom equipment building, and Assembly operations.
Custom equipment design and installation.

I have personally introduced Lean Manufacturing to industrial companies and been responsible for changing plant cultures that were based on "tribal knowledge", and transformed them into organizations that value Standard Work, and are data-driven.

I am a published author, with articles explaining the basic structure of CNC Machine Tools in McGraw-Hill's Encyclopedia of Science and Technology, and a chapter on Plastics Extrusion for McGraw-Hill's Design for Manufacturability Handbook

I also am a computer nerd, hosting my own servers for my (unfortunately) not-with-profit internet business.

I am married (27+ years!), have two great kids, and have learned to love life in small town Pennsylvania.

Although I work full time in a factory, and love being part of a factory team, I am available for free advice, short-term consulting assignments, or training. Call or eMail me, and we can discuss any needs you have.
