“We turned to MRC because we were seeing a substantial growth in our business. We needed to get product out the door faster and increase throughput to meet demand. MRC developed a two-pronged approach to our needs, including excellent training seminars in Lean Manufacturing for our employees. And the tool of value-stream mapping revealed where we could save time in our processes. Before, we really weren’t able to predict output, lead times and delivery very accurately. Now, we do a much better job of on-time delivery, so we’re seeing much greater customer satisfaction"... read more —Don Smullen Director of Operations Rhetech

The MRC Lean6 Transformation Team will help you evaluate your processes and select the most likely areas for cost savings improvements. Our passion is to help local companies compete regionally, nationally, and globally. This mission led MRC to develop the Lean6 Transformation Program.

Lean6 Transformation Program
The MRC Lean6 Transformation Program is a two-year commitment designed in a Train-Plan-Implement format that will enable a company to quickly build internal competency in Lean6 and decrease its reliance on the MRC resources over time. It is a journey that a company takes centered on a fundamental philosophical change and systematic shift in the organizations’s culture, expectations, measures, performance and long-term goals.

The MRC Lean6 Transformation Program employs Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma, which are two principles that are key for a company to become world-class, enhance their profits, and eliminate unnecessary wastes. The power of the transformation occurs when Lean6 becomes a core aspect of the company’s long-term business strategy, building its internal competency through education and mentoring. Key benefits include:

Improved Bottom Line
Reduced Waste
Increased Customer Feedback
