The
Presentation
The Royal Canadian Mint’s head office is located
in Ottawa. The Winnipeg plant opened in
1976, and is responsible for the manufacturing and distribution of all Canadian
circulation coins. They also produce
coins for over 80 countries around the world.
In order to improve efficiency and
competitiveness, the Mint is focused on Continuous Improvement, and embraces
Lean Manufacturing as a methodology to reduce waste and drive efficiency. Tools such as huddle boards, one piece flow,
and visual management will be on display during the tour.
There will be an evening shift working. Safety glasses and hearing protection will be
supplied. Please wear steel-toed shoes
if possible. Otherwise, please wear
close-toed, flat shoes, (no high heels).
When we enter the plant for the tour, you may not bring any metal items
into the plant (Rings, jewelry, coins, cell phones, cameras, etc…). They
recommend not bringing these items to the Plant. If you do bring them, they will need to be
left in the presentation room before going on the tour.
