Quick Response Manufacturing (QRM) is a company-wide approach to lead time reduction that has been shown to be successful at many manufacturing enterprises. The purpose of this study is to obtain more empirical data and develop rules to quantify the benefits of QRM. In this study, we gather detailed data from several company projects on lead time reduction. Then we use a recently developed methodology to quantify the benefits of QRM more accurately, from this data.
