Guaranteed Results

Unlike companies that say you need to improve, Claunch & Associates, Inc. can provide all the information on what you need to do with guaranteed results. The guarantee is simple: "If Claunch & Associates, Inc. can not identify improvements that result in at least a 50% reduction in setup time, based on the setup they document at your facility, you pay nothing for their services, no matter how much time or costs they have incurred on your behalf." Click on FasTrack for more information.

Proven Experience

Without proven experience, Claunch & Associates, Inc. could not provide the above guarantee. The 8 step process they call FasTrack is recognized as the most comprehensive method to achieve rapid changeovers available today. The amount of time spent developing the recommended improvements is very short, which keeps your costs to a minimum. We normally can provide low cost improvements meaning you can receive a payback in 4 to 6 months.

Other companies will tell you to reduce setup time and may provide training in this area. Claunch & Associates, Inc. will take you all the way to bright. We advise you on what can be done to reduce your setup time, provide complete costs to implement, review the recommendations with your employees, implement the improvements, train all employees in the new changeover procedure and provide a baseline settings manual in order to hold the gains. This is a complete package, but you can choose to stop at any phase and complete the work yourself if you desire.

We can work one machine, a line, a department, cells, or your entire plant.

Remember: Once you reduce setup time you can increase manufacturing flexibility and profitability.
