Accelerate
Help your suppliers improve their on-time delivery, quality and flexibility
Today, OEMs of all sizes are asking the same questions: How can we reduce supply risk? How can we better develop strategic supplier relationships? How can we increase our flexibility to better meet our customer needs?
The answer to each can be found in Accelerate, a proven supplier improvement solution developed by the Manufacturing Extension Partnership (MEP).
In less than six years, the Manufacturing Extension Partnership has completed 369 projects for 24 OEMs in 23 states, resulting in an average 45% reduction in Manufacturing Critical-path Time (MCT).
Accelerate focuses on a metric that is common across suppliers and OEMs - Manufacturing Critical-Path Time (MCT). This metric measures the time it takes to produce the product from order initiation until the product is shipped.
