About Me
If you have a production line, it is immediately tied to your bottom line. Hi, my name is Gerry, and this is a concept I have been familiar with since I was just a wee baby toddling around my parents' business. When I left for uni, I continued to study these concepts, and I love to help my friends with their businesses. I wanted to put some of what I have learned out into the world – I believe the more businesses that prosper, the better the economy will ultimately become and the better we will all feel. Because of that I decided to create this blog. I hope you like what you read here, and that it informs and entertains you. Most importantly, I hope that these posts help your production line or manufacturing process to become better and more efficient. Thanks for reading!
