• People - well educated, trained, motivated and empowered employees. Without the right people your business is worthless.
• Systems - MRP II / ERP/ JIT /Lean operations, Process Control and Automation. Without well implemented and maintained systems you are unable to plan and control your materials and capacities to ensure high levels of customer service.
• Quality - Total Quality Management, Quality systems VDA 6 / ISO 9000. Without quality products you will not be able to access global markets and supply chains.

It is excellent people that make systems work. It is good systems that make you efficient. It is excellent people together with their good systems that will produce a quality product for the company. Focus on the people first, systems second and quality will follow naturally.
