IMPLEMENTING QRM

Everyone will have to work faster, harder, and longer hours, in order to get jobs done in less time.

To get jobs out fast, we must keep our machines and people busy all the time.

In order to reduce our lead times, we have to improve our efficiencies.

We must place great importance on "on-time" delivery performance by each of our departments, and by our suppliers.

Installing a Material Requirements Planning (MRP or ERP) System will help in reducing lead times.

Since long lead time items need to be ordered in large quantities, we should negotiate quantity discounts with our suppliers

We should encourage our customers to buy our products in large quantities by offering price breaks and quantity discounts.

We can implement QRM by forming teams in each department.

The reason for implementing QRM is so that we can charge our customers more for rush jobs.

Implementing QRM will require large investments in technology.
