“With the amount of remote work we are able to do (both caused by COVID as well as the new system capabilities), we are seriously considering a replacement of our customer service team to be full-time remote. This will enable us to move my machine service shop and then open up my machine service shop space for additional production capacity. I see a tremendous advantage this can bring for increasing sales on some product lines that are good margin items for PAC.”

“The training I received from DVIRC paid off. We utilized a variety of Lean manufacturing principles, such as 5S. We had very confined spaces, so it was important to have a place for everything and that it could be sustained.

This has helped us identify customer pain points and bottlenecks in our processes. It helped us grow our service division tremendously.”
