QRM 2009
Ninth International Conference on Quick Response Manufacturing
June 14-16, 2009
Monona Terrace Convention Center
Madison, Wis.
Seize the Opportunity – Move Ahead of Your Competition
To compete in today’s global markets, companies need to find new ways to provide customized products to customers at shorter lead times and lower costs. Many companies are using the slow economy as an opportunity to re-examine their operations and prepare to move ahead of their competition. Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) is a time-tested set of principles and tools to reduce lead times throughout the enterprise and provides the platform to launch your strategy for future growth.
Join us on June 14 – 16 in Madison for this year’s international conference to hear how companies are using QRM to compete in a tough economy. Listen to case study presentations that cover QRM implementations across the enterprise (shop floor, office, supply chain) and learn about their amazing results and achievements. Use the pre-conference tutorials to educate yourselves about the key principles of QRM and participate in the break-out sessions on accounting, culture change, creating cells, and measuring lead times, to learn new ideas that you could implement in your organization.
Regardless of whether you are a large organization with a complex portfolio of products or a small machine shop producing specialized custom-engineered parts, the principles of Quick Response Manufacturing can help you seize the opportunity and establish a strong foundation for a competitive future.
