Process Technology (OPT) combines systematic
team planning, specific team assignments, continual
review and in-process improvements to deliver a highly
tuned, efficient system based on solid engineering,
focus, and commitment. OPT draws on resources from
every department and service to maximize throughput
without sacrificing one iota of quality. The benefits
of this process, over 60 years in the making and based
on bleeding edge technologies, is apparent in cost
savings, delivery times, and the final quality of
the packaged product.

OPT means right pricing—with
an underpinning of value, A&B makes sure we design
the right tool for the right volume and specifications.
Value engineering is one of our biggest strengths.
When a company can do things others
can’t, when a company offers this level of innovation
throughout the process, you know there is something
special about it. OPT sets A&B apart and the proof
is in our ability to handle 1700 different processes
under one roof, simultaneously. That is one significant
advantage we have over Asian manufacturers and most
of our domestic competition.
The OPT process involves high technologies,
powerful flexibility, and inexhaustible engineering
know-how. The result is not just saving our customers
at the bottom line, but crossing the line to new dimensions
in quality and service.
Simply put, OPT leans out the production
process and maximizes the dollar value of each part.
