Worlds of Wow Production and Sustainability
At Worlds of Wow, we are continuously looking for new ways to improve our process and create better customer experiences. With the help of Joe Crosswell and TMAC, we were given great tools to become more productive and sustainable. Read the article below and contact us today to get started on your ridiculously cool environment for kids and families!
Worlds of Wow TMAC and Production
Joe Crosswell
TMAC
Worlds of Wow is one of the very few companies in the United States specializing in custom theming and play. With over 12 years experience and more that 500 projects completed, Worlds of Wow is the expert in creating original artwork and graphics to bring ideals to life! So much passion, time and talent goes into each and every project. From the very first conversation to the final piece put into place, their team gives 100% each step of the way! When customers are able to sit back and take in the delivered final masterpiece, it brings them tremendous joy to hear them say, "WOW!"
Worlds of Wow recently relocated from Argyle, TX to a larger facility in Denton. They were interested in maximizing their ability to increase production to support continued growth. CFO, Ashley Altum contacted the TMAC office for help in improving their workflow through the manufacturing process.
Joe Crosswalk from TMAC visited the facility and after a tour of the shop recommended the implementation of some basic lean principals including reorganizing work areas to improve flow with 5S. Joe also implemented the creation of the "white board," to provide visibility of each project as it moved throughout the production process. Joe then worked with the Wow team to conduct lean wastes walks to identify activated that were not adding value to the projects completed.
Thanks to the EPA grant, TMAC was then able to provide Wow with an opportunity to deliver an onsite training program to help staff understand how to identify all types of wastes including lean, energy and environmental wastes. Value stream mapping (VSM) proved to be a tool and foundation to demonstrate the importance of the total cycle time required to complete a project.
The project included class room training followed by walks to the production floor as a cross functional team including artists, managers and production staff identified various wastes as they followed the product through its flow throughout the facility.
The team learned how to video an artist at work to determine is each step of the process was either value or non-value added in the eyes of their customers. Each step of the process was then recorded on a process breakdown sheet. Simple changes of locating tools and equipment close to the work station would allow the artist more time to create and less time walking or searching for items.
The team next took a close look at opportunities to reduce energy costs in the building. They are now also considering ways to bring natural daylight into the facility to improve staff performance. The team also took a close look at everything that was thrown away to question solid and liquid wastes were being generated. They identified an opportunity to donate waste foam pieces to a local non-profit to reduce their impact to the landfill.
The results:
Expected quantitative impacts include;
" TMAC helped us to realize that we always have room for improvement. We were given some great tool to become more productive and sustainable at the same time. We see the importance of taking the time each day to address our continuous improvement efforts."

Everyone Needs A Treehouse...
Working with First Baptist Church of West Monroe was like working with family! We had such a great time transforming their children's ministry space into a life-sized indoor treehouse.
First West is sure to engage kids and families the moment they walk in at the first sight of the children's ministry check-in - you truly are entering a place designed just for kids!

A-mazing Children's Theming at West End Community Church | Nashville, TN
West End Community Church in Nashville, TN is truly focused on discipling the next generation. In designing their new children's space, the goal was to genuinely live out the statement Judy, the Children's Director, regularly says - seeing kids' lives transformed by the Gospel! They desire for the kids in their ministry to really HEAR the Gospel.
Together we focused on ages birth thru 6th grade. This amazing ministry team wanted to see kids running to class because they are so excited to be there. AMAZING.. CREATIVE.. INTERACTIVE... Job well done, team!
