“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. With MRC’s help, we increased throughput by about 15 percent in one product line, and we cut down from 14 weeks to 10 weeks in lead time with some of our larger tools. Now, we’re working on a substantial expansion project, and we’ll definitely be able to get more out of it because of what we learned with MRC.”
