HEI’s proprietary CDBM process is a proven method that focuses on cost reduction, speed to market, and market responsiveness. Costs are reduced as CDBM exposes and eliminates unnecessary processes that do not add directly to customer value. Time to market is improved through product synchronizations, kanban material supply techniques, flow-line designs, and the use of mathematical-based labor models. Training multi-skilled team members, encouraging personal involvement and empowering work teams all build market responsiveness into the approach.

Key advantages include:

• Reduced inventory
• Cycle time and lead time reductions
• Improved quality
• Reduced material and labor costs
• Improved inventory turns and optimized facility utilization
