Lean Our Way
We believe that a company can be no better than its suppliers. This core belief drives us to proactively work with our supply chain to continuously improve its execution and 
to relentlessly work on our own manufacturing system bringing it to a state of world class performance.
In 2004, CMC committed to advancing our manufacturing technology and capability in a strategic fashion aligned with the principles of lean manufacturing. We adopted and implemented lean practices that resulted in better quality, less waste, greater productivity, more agility, faster cycle-times and improved delivery performance to our customers on new machines as well as service parts orders.
The CMC Lean Enterprise System has been recognized for its operational mastery, not only by our customers, but also by an independent party as a Progressive Manufacturing Top 100 award winner in 2007, 2008 and again in 2009. Receiving this Award recognizes our commitment to innovation and the use of advanced technology. This provides validation that we are on the right track with our mission and business strategies.
