The result, Ortt says, is a highly efficient plant with a measurable productivity edge. “In benchmarking, we find that we can produce approximately three times as many windows as our competitors per man hour,” he explains. The facility’s location also supports performance— positioned near major highways and not far from the port—critical advantages in a region where logistics can make or break production timelines. 35 BUSINESS VIEW CARIBBEAN VOLUME 13, ISSUE 01 DOMUS WINDOWS
