Project Summary
Our Prime Contractor experienced significant growth over the past 6 years and turned to Ehmke Manufacturing Company for additional manufacturing resources. Ehmke has assumed manufacturing responsibilities for temporary shelter liner bags, repair kit bags, and tent bags to support our customer’s deliveries to U.S. Marine Corps units during deployments to the Middle East.
Ehmke Manufacturing Company uses a Kanban System of replenishment so customers receive their products exactly when they want them without carrying any unnecessary inventory.
This proactive inventory control approach has helped reduce their overall program costs.
