IPI's newest operation, located at the Fort Dodge Correctional Facility in Fort Dodge, began production of Jeans for Iowa's institutions in April 2015. The operation employs approximately twenty associates with a goal of manufacturing over 100 pairs of jeans daily. To reach this goal, the Fort Dodge textiles operation was set up using Lean concepts. The one-piece flow will eliminate errors and improve quality.
