Industry Partners
Since its inception in 1993, the QRM Center has worked with nearly 180
companies in their quest to reduce lead times. From coast to coast and
around the world, organizations producing a wide range of products have found that the benefits of reducing lead times are far greater than
initially estimated.
As QRM has evolved, we've learned that its principles have broader
application than might have been anticipated at its founding: heavy
manufacturing, light manufacturing, sophisticated electronics, wooden
furniture, fabricated plastic and metal parts, ships, hand-held tools,
specialized lighting fixtures -- even printing, biotechnology and health
care. If your enterprise produces low-volume, high-variety or
custom-engineered products, Quick Response Manufacturing can give you a
strong competitive advantage.
For a list of companies that have benefited from and contributed to the
QRM body of knowledge, see the attached list.
