Lean Manufacturing
The playground equipment manufacturer that makes play, not waste
In 2005, Playworld Systems began the journey of becoming a lean playground equipment manufacturer. Lean manufacturing is a systematic approach to identifying and eliminating waste—and increasing efficiencies—by continuously refining and improving operations.
The benefits of working with a lean playground equipment manufacturer
By focusing on a one-piece workflow—a hallmark of lean manufacturing—Playworld Systems has built a reputation as the playground equipment manufacturer that delivers fast and on time.
- Our average delivery time has dropped from 40 days to 10 days.
- Our on-time delivery rate has improved from 83% to 97%.
- We’ve reduced inventory by 45%—making it easier to manage your order and deliver your products on time.
Our lean techniques allow us to streamline playground equipment manufacturing costs by eliminating extra time, labor, and materials that do not add value to our playground equipment for you, the customer. Naturally, that translates into a better value for you as well.
An ISO-certified playground equipment manufacturer
Playworld Systems is proud to be ISO 9001:2000 certified. ISO 9001:2000 is a comprehensive quality management system that applies to companies that design, manufacture, and service products. The ISO’s stringent criteria have made it globally recognized as the authoritative voice on quality certification.
Playworld Systems is also ISO 14001 certified, which is a testament to our environmental management system and its impact on every decision we make as a company. Learn more about our Green Initiative.
Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act
Playworld Systems is proud to announce that we are in full compliance with the material, testing and reporting requirements of the Consumer Products Safety Improvement Act of 2008 (CPSIA). Not only are we below the lead content in paint and substrate limits of the Act, we have eliminated 99.999% of PVC and extended the restrictions on phthalates to all types, not just the six phthalates indicated in Section 108 of the Act. By restricting all phthalates to the limits of Section 108, Playworld Systems has taken an extra step in alleviating health concerns regarding phthalates. We are also doing our part for the environment by eliminating 99.999% of PVC from our products and the associated environmental concerns about dioxins potentially created during its manufacture and disposal.
Committed to being the best playground equipment manufacturer
The journey to becoming a lean playground equipment manufacturer has been a successful endeavor for Playworld Systems. But we are not finished improving our systems. We work continuously to improve our skill levels and production processes. We strive to ensure that our customers will receive the best quality products and services on time, every time.
