Center For Quick Response Manufacturing
Founded in 1993 by Rajan Suri, along with a few Midwest companies and academic colleagues at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, the Center for Quick Response Manufacturing has been a driving force in the development and implementation of QRM.
Organized as a public-private consortium including faculty, students and company members, the Center has assisted more than 220 companies in applying QRM principles over the past 20 years.
The Center provides general information on QRM and hosts a variety of training events each year. Companies interested in implementing QRM can become members of the Center and take part in improvement projects conducted in cooperation with engineering students and university faculty.
Following the public-private partnership model, a new QRM Center at HAN University in Arnhem, Netherlands (founded 2010) is helping European companies implement QRM strategies.
