Time Constraints
“…we’re too busy doing the daily stuff, we have no time to look for improvements”

Joe Speranza, Meter Lab Supervisor – Duke
“Thank you for sending over this report. I will review it with my leadership and team. Thank you again for your time to do the event itself. We have since been working to improve our RMA and Shipping processes. We have also been testing our capabilities to validate and program multiple meters at one time, which has promising results thus far.”
