The staffing problems that cost you every week, and how we fix them

Marquise spent 35 years leading manufacturing and logistics operations and saw these problems firsthand. We built Manns & Associates to solve them.

The problem Temps who don't show up, or quit after a week. How we fix it Every worker goes through Success Strategies training on attendance and reliability before day one, and our Built-in Performance Pit-Stops catch problems early, before they turn into turnover.
The problem Your leads spend days training people who aren't ready. How we fix it Our workers arrive already trained in 5S, standard work and the Toyota Production System, at no cost to you, so your team can focus on job-specific training.
The problem Agencies send whoever is available, not who fits. How we fix it We screen every candidate against your actual job description: certifications, shift, lifting and experience. Only qualified people reach your floor.
The problem Short-staffed lines mean overtime, missed orders and safety risks. How we fix it Tell us what you need and Marquise calls you within one business day. Our workers know safe walkways, correct PPE and how to report hazards from their first shift.
The problem Hiring permanent staff is a gamble. How we fix it With temp-to-hire, you see how someone performs on your floor before you bring them onto your payroll.

Three ways to staff

Temporary Cover peak season, absences, new contracts and short-term projects. Workers stay on our payroll, so we handle payroll taxes and workers' compensation.
Temp-to-hire See a worker perform on your floor before you hire them. When you're ready, bring them onto your payroll.
Direct hire We recruit and screen for your permanent openings, including leads and supervisors, and you hire directly.
Included with every placement

The Lean Ready standard

Most agencies send a body. We send a worker who already understands how a disciplined floor runs. The training costs you nothing.

  • 5S workplace organization. Sort, set in order, shine, standardize and sustain.
  • Toyota Production System. How flow, pull and standard work keep a line moving.
  • Kaizen. Spotting waste and suggesting small improvements every day.
  • Workplace communication. Clear handoffs with leads, supervisors and the next shift.
  • Success Strategies. Reliability, attendance and the habits that turn a temp job into a career.
  • Built-in Performance Pit-Stops. Scheduled check-ins that keep every placement on track.
