CRS Solution

Our Solution focuses on three factors to drive performance. The formula for success is the PUMP process:

Performance = Utilization x Methods x Pace (P= U x M x P)


  • Utilization of time
    CRS's on-site performance manager (PM) ensures that all production time is utilized to its full potential.

  • Methods
    Designing the proper methods of work/job aids to maximize performance.

  • Pace of work
    Managed by CRS's (PM). The manager manages the employee'sproduction based on engineered standards, providing continuous feedback for increased performance.

What we have been hearing from our clients in the last few years is that they are looking for a business partner that is willing to share in the financial risk while continuing to bring innovation to help drive down unit cost. The implementation of CRS's Engineered Workforce Strategies has allowed us to show our partners:

• 10%-30% reduction in unit cost
• 10%-20% increased throughput
• Elimination of training cost (absorbed in unit cost)
• Commitment on maintaining or improving current quality (risk reward programs can be created)
• Reduction of overtime through increased throughput per labor hour.
• Client's management able to focus on core business rather than labor issues.
