L&W takes advantage of a state of the art Enterprise Requirements Planning (ERP) shop system which effectively controls all aspects of shop activity while managing profitability.  The system manages inventory and purchasing by removing guesswork from material requirements and timelines.  It automatically schedules and tracks jobs by monitoring occupied machines; this allows us to allocate available time to new jobs.  The fully integrated quality system ensures consistent work flow, identifies quality problems and reduces rework prior to affecting due dates.
