QPAC ~ right on time

Just wanted to share some news with you about a contract recently completed in QPAC and what is possible when people work together towards a common goal.

Every year in late summer/early fall QPAC gets an order from William Prager to assemble boot weights. William Prager is a company that manufactures store fixtures and QPAC has been assembling boot weights for them for 5 years.

Typically W.P. requires 500 to 1000 pieces and QPAC employees have no problem completing an order of 1000 pieces in a week.

This year W.P. ordered 9000 and needed them in four weeks.

Needless to say, this put QPAC under some pressure and for the first time I had to inform W.P. that we would possibly have problems meeting their time line.

I am very happy to say QPAC employees and staff completed the job in the four weeks!

This accomplishment honestly comes as no surprise. The people who come to work at QPAC day in and day out are extremely dedicated, hard working and know the value of their work.

This applies to all the employees as there were other contracts with tight time lines being done as well as W.P.

It also applies to the staff who scheduled employees based on the their availability and ability to do a variety of jobs, deal with machinery that is needing constant repair and maintenance and several other factors that could have gone wrong and put the production schedule in jeopardy.

We send out a big THANK YOU to everyone at QPAC and couldn't resist sharing this story with everyone.
