The Challenge
Summit Truck Bodies purchased a new facility and sought expertise in optimal facility layout. The company requested expertise from KMS, part of the MEP National Network™, to provide insights, best practices, efficiencies, and challenge their assumptions.
Appreciate working with KMS. They’ve been a good asset and expect to work with them in the future.
MEP's Role
