"The process of developing a lean enterprise is an evolutionary one, that is essential to competitive success into the new millennium. It's a process that takes a long time and an effort to do it right. We have been adopting Lean Principles over the past few years and have taken part in the MRC Lean Consortium. We lend our experiences and hear what others' experiences are. It is a great way of sharing what you would have done the same and what you would have changed. In the last few years as a result of Lean implementations we were able to defer a $1,000,000 building addition for three years along with the avoidance of $200,000 in operating costs i.e., which translates to an avoidance of $1,600,000."

Steven Follett , President
Follett Corporation

"Overall, we are an excellent example of what positive results can happen when Lean Manufacturing techniques are properly applied utilizing the expertise available at the MRC."

Greg Wolf , President

What does it mean to be Lean?

Lean Manufacturing is about being able to do more with less and getting more with less.  Lean Manufacturing is about eliminating waste and producing what your customers want when they want it.

The longer your company sticks with Lean Manufacturing, the bigger the benefits of this proven system.

While your company will experience dramatic effects early on, they are just a hint of how great it can be.

MRC plainly reveals core lean production knowledge and methods that build your company's capabilities to rapidly cut costs and improve productivity, quality, and delivery while positioning your company for renewed growth.
