Employee training in Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM). QRM is an enterprise-wide strategy for reducing lead time that is particularly suited to companies making high-mix, low-volume or custome products. QRM enables companies to reduce lead times by over 80% and achieve near-perfect on-time delivery.

Quick Response Manufacturing, Part 1: Realizing the Power of Time introduces learners to the core strategies of QRM and provides a closer look at lead time in manufacturing companies, including:

• Where to focus your efforts if lead time reduction is your goal
• How to precisely define and measure lead time with a time-based metric
• The numerous benefits of reducing lead time

This course was designed for employees at companies that have already adopted the QRM strategy. It is particularly suited to onboarding of new employees.

This course is the first of a two-part series. Successful completion of both courses provides learners with an in-depth perspective on lead time in manufacturing companies and the main QRM strategies for reducing lead time.
