Production Assessment
As a manufacturer, you cannot control your workflow without knowing the four critical areas of production and how you are performing on each. In just 4 hours, we identify the critical, potential pain points of your production process. We locate areas that are weighing down your efficiency and identify the best practice to solving them. You get a written assessment of each of these areas, your relevant performance in each, specific steps for improvement and a series of best practice recommendations built just for your site(s).
