Knit-Rite Tour

Join your fellow Industrial Engineers for a morning tour of Knit-Rite! This is an exciting and unique opportunity for the KC IISE chapter to get a behind-the-scenes look at this innovative medical supply manufacturer. Chapter members will have the chance to put their skills to use to come up with potential process improvement ideas for Knit-Rite. Knit-Rite has been on a very productive LEAN journey and would welcome any ideas we have. What a great way for us to contribute!
