For better bottom-line performance, you
should have a new perspective of your business as
a flow mechanism.
FMT users report that they achieve results
of 75% net profit increase, 50% plant throughput
boost, and 70% lead-time reduction in a matter of months.
Our throughput rate on a three-shift
operation was around 35 million lb/month; now its up
to 50 million lb/month. We get more
out, and more on time." Per the VP and General Manager

The effectiveness of FMT can be shown in many ways, such
as reduced inventory levels, improved cash flow, shorter manufacturing leadtimes,
better customer service, and less overtime. But the single most important sign that the
system is working is profit generation.
FMT produced a 50% reduction in raw-material inventory,
reduction in lead times from eight weeks to eight days, an increase in throughput of
142%, and the total elimination of late deliveries. Moreover, FMT is credited with doubling
corporate profits in the first year. Per The
Chairman of North American Products
