Bullard Abrasives, Inc. Uses Polaris MEP to Cut Through Competition
Rising costs have taken a toll on all businesses in the last decade. But the good news is, opportunities to reduce expenses can be found at each step of your manufacturing flow! Wasted movements, suboptimal layouts, overprocessing, and more can all eat into your profits.
You know your products, people, and facility inside and out. With the help of Polaris MEP’s lean specialists, you can see your whole organization with new eyes, break down perceived boundaries, and perfect your operations from beginning to end.
The manufacturing improvements have saved Contech over $50,000 and increased the investment in our workforce by $20,000. With our out-of-pocket investment of $10,000, the return on investment to our company is $7 to $1. That ROI helped our organization to reinvest in the company.
