QRM Introduction Fundamentals of Quick Response Manufacturing
Cut lead times, and cost, quality, and responsiveness follow. If you run high-mix, low-volume, or custom manufacturing, this fast-paced introduction to Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) covers Manufacturing Critical-path Time (MCT), the metric that reveals where time and money are actually being lost in your operation. QRM was founded by Rajan Suri and is taught through UW-Madison's Center for Quick Response Manufacturing.
From there, you'll get an overview of QRM cell design for shop floor and office work, and POLCA, an alternative to traditional Kanban material control.
