Quick Response Manufacturing //
Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) is a companywide strategy to reduce lead times across your enterprise. It can bring your products to market more quickly and secure your business prospects by helping you compete in a rapidly changing manufacturing arena. It will increase profitability by reducing non–value–added time, cutting inventory and increasing return on investment.
The implementation of both shop floor and office cells at QRM Center member company Dowding Industries is featured in the October issue of “The Fabricator” magazine. Located in Eaton Rapids, MI, Dowding Industries recently embarked on an aggressive QRM journey, but their commitment has already achieved remarkable results.
