Despite these impressive data facts, manufacturing is not easy, especially for small to mid-size manufacturers.  There is a lot of competition; locally, nationally and globally.  Resources can be scarce.  Workforce can be limited.  Support hard to locate.  This is where KMS can assist you. 

Kansas Manufacturing Solutions focuses on 5 core competencies:

  • Continuous Improvement
  • Sustainability
  • Workforce Development
  • Quality and Compliance
  • Business Optimization
