Testimonials
"The Florida MEP was a great help in allowing us to learn and implement lean strategies to our manufacturing and maintenance environments. Thanks to this process we were able to experience monetary savings and achieve our goals."
- Jose A. Martinez, Project Manager, HJ Foundation
"After some basic lean training the group used Value Stream Mapping and Kaizen events and reworked our (Hanger's) entire process both the physical layout and the business of 'how we were doing things.' They reworked the entire work flow process. The outcome was so positive that Henry Miller (the FL MEP) project manager was able to put together a very impressive piece with matrix to send to our corporate office. Arizona and California have now begun the same lean transformation process due to the success in Florida. Our group has increased productivity month after month by 20% or more working the same number of hours with the same number of employees. We are at 99% delivery to date with 70% early delivery."
- Jeff Rosen, Director of Florida, Hanger Orthopedic Group, Inc.
"Our company contracted with Florida MEP to assist us in establishing and implementing a quality system compliant to ISO 9001:2000 standard. The ultimate goal was for our company to become ISO 9001:2000 certified." "Florida MEP provided Mr. Wilheilm Barb, who had the difficult task of understanding the operation of our company. His thorough understanding of ISO standard and of our operating system helped us establish new procedures, forms, objectives, and goals. Wilheilm displayed enthusiasm, patience, and knowledge as he helped us establish our quality management system." "We became an ISO certified company during the summer of 2005. Due to the professionalism and dedication displayed by Florida MEP and particularly Mr. Wilheilm Barb, we have since referred five other corporations to MEP for assistance in establishing their quality systems."
- Ed Coughlin, Director of Quality, CPN Electronics
