How to Implement QRM
February 1-2, 2012
DoubleTree Hotel
Madison, Wis.
Cut Lead Times, Convince Customers
Join Ananth Krishnamurthy for this two-day workshop on Quick Response Manufacturing
A tough economy has led many manufacturers to slash inventories and reduce their workforce. With business recovering, companies that respond quickly to customers orders will outperform competitors and grow their market share. The key to 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 hands-on 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
