MANUFACTURING PROFESSIONALS: Wouldn't you rather spend more time on the golf course this spring as opposed to preparing responses to customer complaints? Me too!!! Reducing inventory not only improves your cashflow but also increases your quality, cost, safety, on-time delivery and other important metrics. You know that, we all know that; the hard part is to do it without disrupting your customer. We know how and we want to accelerate your journey by helping you skip the lessons that we learned the HARD way. We use creative storytelling and share our experiences to influence and guide your organization through the development of an ARMY OF PROBLEM-SOLVERS. We want to partner with you and attack the issues that cause you to hold more $$$ in inventory than you want to. #continuousimprovementculture Beth Crowley
