Founded in 1983 and incorporated in 1991 by Jerry Claunch
the corporation has grown to serve national and international manufacturing
organizations in the pursuit of competitiveness. We are a results oriented
implementation organization. We specialize in developing solutions to your
manufacturing problems.
Claunch & Associates, Inc. are the world wide leaders in
implementing Setup Time Reduction and Statistical Quality Improvements. We
believe these are the two most important issues facing manufacturers today and
provide the greatest return on investment. Setup time reduction is not a
sideline activity for us, it is our speciality.
Jerry Claunch authored two of the most recognized texts on
setup time reduction and has more than 28 years experience in the implementation
of this initiative. Within the last 5 years this company has become the leaders
in implementing improvements that result in Rapid Changeovers. The process
developed by Claunch & Associates, Inc. reduces the implementation of setup
time reduction from months to days.
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.
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.
