MRSI is implementing demand flow manufacturing technology to meet the increased customer demand for its products. Demand flow manufacturing is well-suited for the customer-configured systems requiring the utmost in quality at high volumes. In this form of manufacturing, the materials primarily converge at the product assembly just-in-time or kanban. Well-trained and flexible work teams then assemble the products. This provides the ability to increase manufacturing capacity while maintaining the highest quality and pride of ownership. Mike Chalsen, Vice President stated "MRSI's order to ship cycle fits flow manufacturing like a glove and improvements will even further satisfy customer needs."

The combination of demand flow manufacturing and MRSI's new manufacturing facility is allowing MRSI to meet the increased demand for its telecom and datacom customers. Typical products include dispense and assembly products for optical, microwave, RF and multichip modules. In many cases MRSI provides a complete solution of a turnkey integrated production line, in addition to dedicated dispense and assembly modules. Interconnect technologies include epoxy, eutectic and flip chip die attach.
