Streamlining Success: How One Employee’s Innovation Transformed Our Operations

At Kymera International, safety, innovation and continuous improvement are at the heart of everything we do. This commitment is exemplified by our employees, who consistently strive to make our processes more efficient, safer, and more effective. Today, we want to shine a spotlight on one of our outstanding team members, Anthony Wright, from our AmeriTi Manufacturing facility, whose ingenuity has made a significant impact on our operations.

Anthony demonstrated his dedication to Kymera’s core values—Safety, Continuous Improvement, and LEAN Thinking—by proposing an innovative solution that has not only streamlined our processes, but also enhanced the well-being of his colleagues. Recognizing an opportunity to improve efficiency, Anthony devised a simple yet effective modification to our Ferrotitanium mold filling station. By inserting a tray under the station, he successfully captured material scrap, drastically reducing the need for manual shoveling to clean out overflow pits.

The results of Anthony’s idea speak for themselves. What once required a team of four people, six to eight hours of labor, now only takes one person just one hour to complete. This not only reduces operational costs, but also alleviates the ergonomic and physical strain on our employees. Anthony’s initiative is a shining example of how one individual’s creativity and commitment to improvement can make a lasting difference.

Anthony’s journey didn’t end with just a suggestion. He collaborated closely with management, the safety team, and our maintenance fabrication group to bring his idea to life. His hands-on approach and determination to see the project through to completion embody the spirit of collaboration and teamwork that drives Kymera International forward.

We extend our deepest appreciation to Anthony for his dedication, creativity, and willingness to share his insights. His contributions have made a tangible difference in our operations and have set a powerful example for others to follow. Thank you, Anthony, for your commitment to excellence—you’ve truly made a positive impact on our team and our company!
