WHY MGS?

From developing a concept, through building a one of a kind to creating product lines and producing production runs.

ERP Planning Systems

Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is defined as an integrated suite of modules that forms the operational and transactional system of record upon which a business is based. Although ERP began as Material Requirements Planning (MRP) it has grown to include financial, customer and sales management along with project, product data, production, and planning/scheduling management. ERP is designed to accommodate many manufacturing processes including engineer-to-order (E2O) and configure-to-order (C2O) in job shop, production shop and mixed environments.

At MGS our ERP system provides accurate controls and real-time information enabling our management team to monitor all facets of our business. Up-to-the-minute information is available with which to make informed decisions regarding job planning, production scheduling, raw material and vendor supplied component purchasing, product costs. Also monitored and tracked are all steps in the actual manufacturing process and post-delivery activities.

This system is one of the control methods MGS has in place to ensure that our customers get what they want, when they want it.

Engineering Expertise

The MGS Engineering department is made of highly qualified personnel with the skills and experience necessary to help customers solve their problems!  The engineers of MGS have decades and decades of combined transportation experience along with exceptionally strong professional, academic, and industry accreditation. The philosophy of the engineering department embraces the MGS goals, a professional code of ethics, teamwork, matrix-organized responsibilities, personal development, and the MGS Quality System.

 

MGS engineering qualifications result in the capability to conceive, design, test, document, and manufacture products of the highest quality, integrity, and reliability available anywhere. These talents and tools are what differentiate MGS from our competitors. 

 

We practice Process Differentiation and assign each order the most efficient process map within our production system. Whether a job is engineer-to-order for a new product, a configure-to-order for commodity type products, or production-quantity standard-products each distinct order type is controlled by procedures and work instructions within our Quality Management System.

 

Using these tools helps us to create products for our customers that solve their challenges while providing risk reduction and peace of mind.

Quality Systems

As a strategic decision, MGS became ISO 9001 Certified because it promotes an approach when developing, implementing, and improving the effectiveness of a quality management system, to enhance customer satisfaction by meeting requirements. An advantage of the process approach is the ongoing control that it provides over the linkage between the individual process within the system of processes, as well as over their combination and interaction. When used within a quality management system, such an approach emphasizes the importance of:     

ISO9001 Certified
  • Understanding & meeting requirements
  • The need to consider processes in terms of added value
  • Obtaining results of process performance & effectiveness
  • Continual improvement of processes based on objective measurement

The primary result of our adoption of this control system has been an increase in customers' confidence and satisfaction.
