Our work with Joseph DeLong and his team at Kahana Consultants aimed to reduce our investment in inventory by 12% in three of our regional parts plants. We were thrilled when Joe and his team’s FastTrack implementation program resulted in a net inventory reduction of 17% in the first 6 months. That was beyond our expectations in terms of cost savings and the speed with which we accomplished our goal.

What we appreciated most about working with Joe and his team was their ability to cut through the predictable politics of a project, keep everyone happy, and deliver the expected results and then some.
