  Michael Harbaugh, Operations Manager of the Manufacturing Extension Partnership of Mississippi, a division of the Mississippi Technology Alliance, is working with Peavey on a transformational Lean business model that will ensure that the company retains that spirit of innovation and a competitive edge for years to come.
  
  "Today's globally competitive environment demands that companies use every resource to its full potential," he said. "In traditional approaches to business, only 5% of the resources expended on a daily basis result in 'value-added' activities, or those that people are willing to pay for. The more we convert that waste into value-added activities, the more profitable, competitive and faster the company becomes. Customers want things faster, cheaper and easier, and Lean is the only known sustainable mechanism that makes companies operate faster and more efficiently.
  
  "Manufacturing is the heart and soul of an economy," Harbaugh added.
