Overview
Cut Lead Times, Improve Profitability and Market Share
Manufacturers face a growing trend: customers increasingly request highly customized products at short lead times. Companies that have responded to this challenge have seen growth in profitability and market share. The key to this success: reducing lead times to eliminate waste such as expediting, excess inventories and high overhead.
Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) provides a time-tested set of principles and tools to reduce lead time throughout your extended enterprise and build a strong foundation for long term growth. QRM has helped companies reduce lead times by over 80%, reduce costs by 20-40%, and substantially increase market share.
If you manufacture low-volume, high-variety or custom-engineered products, join us for this virtual workshop and learn how Quick Response Manufacturing can give you a strong competitive advantage and put your company in a position to compete with low-wage countries.
You’ll learn how QRM helps you:
- Slash lead times in manufacturing and office operations by 80% or more
- Rapidly introduce new products
- Cut manufacturing costs
- Reduce overhead
- Manufacture higher-quality products
- Increase market share
Outline
