KMC handles contract production of medical instrumentation in dedicated,
customer-focused, manufacturing work cells, or as we prefer to call
them, "focused factories." All manufacturing resources for a particular
product are located in a segregated area on our production floor.
Each focused factory also includes the piece-part inventory, assembly
tooling and test equipment, process details, drawings, and other
documentation required for the product.
Our most important resources in each factory
are the people who make up the production teamassemblers,
test technicians, buyer/planners, and manufacturing engineers.
A production team leader manages each factory.
Team leaders have hands-on production experience and are intimately
familiar with the demands of the GMP manufacturing environment.
They are responsible for the day-to-day direct supervision and coordination
of team activities and provide a continuous point of contact with
the customer. The production team leaders are also accountable to
our senior management regarding cost, schedule, and quality performance
issues.
