"CONNSTEP opened up our eyes to see where we can assign the UDI in the manufacturing process and get it to the finished level. The Value Stream Mapping clarified the process for us to help meet UDI requirements mandated by the FDA. It all resulted in being able to make appropriate investments and implement a successful UDI system."

"This project involved quantities of product that we order of magnitude higher than what we normally deal with. The delivery timeline seemed unachievable. We have had a number of successful projects with Connstep over the years so we reached out to them. Connstep was able to recommend and implement a continuous flow process that cut our labor time dramatically and made the timeline achievable. The process also yielded higher quality. They used their expertise and experience along with dedication to the project. They guided us and were present every step of the way. There is no way we could have done this project on time without them."

Bob Luther

CEO, LEX Products

"Thanks to CONNSTEP the compliance process was not as overwhelming as it could have been. They helped us not to overwork or over engineer things that we already had in place. They also kept us focused and provided good guidance. It’s an ongoing process which we are better prepared for now."

Bill Davis

Controller, HR Director, Infinity Fuel Cell and Hydrogen, Inc.

"Thanks to the City of Bristol and their grant program for local manufacturers, we were able to achieve ISO certification for our company. And we couldn’t have done it without the guidance and assistance from CONNSTEP who also helped us reinforce a culture of continuous improvement here. The certification to the standard supports our goal of business growth, provides a competitive advantage, and gives our customers a reason to believe in us."
