About this Presentation
Process Equipment Company (PECo), a US manufacturer, has faced and continues to face fierce global competition in challenging economic situations. PECo looked beyond the choice of either TOC, lean or six sigma and realized that all methodologies had strengths if utilized in an integrated fashion. PECo turned to AGI’s focused system improvement (FSI) process, a true TOCLSS (TLS) integrated process, to maintain competitiveness and actually grow market share. This same FSI process guides PECo as they continue to sustain profitable growth during this latest economic downturn.
