One Manufacturer's Continuous Improvement Journey

Information

AccuRounds is a second-generation, family-owned, advanced manufacturer based in Avon, Massachusetts. Established in 1976, they provide custom, precision-machined components to industries including medical, aerospace, and emerging technologies.

The company is led by President and CEO, Mika Tamasi, who has continued to develop and strengthen the culture of the organization as part of their organizational alignment strategy, “The Path to Perfection.”

However, AccuRounds was still maintaining and attempting to improve their process by manually recording and documenting things with pen and paper. This resulted in information getting lost and the company was in need of a digital transformation.

Within a year of implementing MachineMetrics, Mike and his team had connected twenty-three machines and were driving process improvements and greater collaboration between engineers and machinists. Because of AccuRounds’ history of building a strong culture from the front office to the shop floor, the team worked to deliberately manage the tensions that came to the surface during their first few months after installation.
