Carolina Handling

Carolina Handling, the exclusive Raymond Solutions and Support Center for North Carolina, South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama and Florida’s central time zone, is taking its proven internal process improvement expertise to market with the launch of lean consulting services through its Continuous Improvement Department.
Carolina Handling’s Continuous Improvement Department has been a tremendous resource for internal teams, partnering across departments to identify process improvements. Building on that success, the Continuous Improvement Department now offers external customers the same lean consulting support to uncover and solve process challenges, resulting in more efficient business operations, increased profitability and improved safety and morale.
“This unique offering stands out because of our approach and the way we engage with our customers. At its core, our work is about partnership. We take a consultative approach by listening, learning and collaborating to uncover new ways to optimize operations and drive lasting business success,” said Justin Benson, Vice President of Intralogistics Solutions at Carolina Handling.
Raymond Lean Management (RLM) is at the core of the Continuous Improvement Department’s philosophy. Built on the proven foundation and principles of the Toyota Production System (TPS), the RLM program combines tailored training, collaboration and consultation.
Before implementing changes, the Continuous Improvement team conducts an initial intralogistics lean assessment of a facility or process to evaluate the current conditions and identify areas of opportunity for improvement. In-person lean training covers the foundational lean principles and their application within manufacturing, warehousing and distribution environments to enhance operational efficiency.
Courses include 5S Methodology, Waste Identification and Reduction, Standardization and Visual Management, and Kaizen and Defect Tracking Management.
