Moeller Design & Development Announces 7-Day Staffing to Optimize Production Efficiency

SEATTLE--Oct. 1, 20051, 2005--Moeller Design & Development, a leading product development services company, today announced the implementation of a seven day a week production staffing schedule designed to improve capacity, lead times and production efficiency. The change comes in response to demands from market-leading designers and manufacturers charged with developing new products as quickly as possible.

"Over the past 15 years, our highly experienced staff has done a great job responding to our customers' needs during the normal business week," said Moeller Design & Development CEO Dave Moeller. "Our partners are under continued pressure to compress their time to market. As their lead times shrink, we need to be the resource that will reliably meet those deadlines."

In the product development arena, speed to market is often attributed to a longer sales life, an increase in customer acquisition and an increase in sales resulting from early adoption by the consumer. As a result, many companies turn to rapid technologies to keep their product development projects on track.

Moeller Design & Development is the first product development services company committed to a seven day a week production schedule for rapid prototyping. This schedule was developed to increase productivity and enhance customer service.

"This new schedule is just one more way we can help our customers respond to the challenges often associated with rapid product development," Moeller added.
