Wright Line is a global leader in designing and manufacturing technical furniture and enclosure systems. Our diverse clientele includes the US government, customer service offices, universities, hospitals, and food chains. We face management challenges such as skilled labor shortages and production bottlenecks, yet we optimize our processes in materials management using Kanban, Takt time, and efficient inventory systems. Our production process includes sheet metal shaping, welding, and finishing. To enhance customer satisfaction and improve efficiency, we recommend integrating a Management Information System (MIS) and applying tools like Servqual and VA/VE.
