Sustainability and First Time Quality – Time Manufacturing Company

This blog is the next installment in a series on sustainability at Time Manufacturing Company brands. In this post, we explore the connection between the first time quality of manufactured goods, product safety and overall sustainability of products delivered by Versalift, BrandFX, Aspen Aerials and Ruthmann. These topics were featured in a recently published Time Manufacturing Company white paper on sustainability,

The Strong Business Case for Sustainability

At Time Manufacturing Company, we think that focusing on first time quality in our manufacturing facilities is one of the best ways to address sustainability. The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has built a case for sustainability through waste reduction and process efficiencies. By building a business case for sustainability, the EPA shows that reducing waste is a highly profitable way to respond to regulatory constraints, while at the same time accessing new customers, strengthening the brand portfolio, building public trust, and being well-positioned to respond to any new opportunities that might increase its competitive advantage. The case can be read at the EPA website here: https://epa.gov/sustainability/sustainable-manufacturing

Improved First Time Quality is Waste Reduction

According to the United States Environmental Protection Agency, one of the most effective ways to optimize the carbon footprint of a manufacturing company is to improve the first time quality of the output. Improved first time quality drives the overall level of waste downward, which reduces input costs. According to the EPA note on sustainability, companies that improve their operational efficiency by reducing waste are building long-term business viability and are planning for success.

Product Safety at Time Manufacturing Company

Time Manufacturing Company brands, including Versalift, BrandFX, Aspen Aerials and Ruthmann, are among the safest in their product categories.
