ELCR Electric Car Company Inc (CE)

Electric Car Company, Inc. (OTCBB:ELCR), a vehicle conversion company that specializes in electric conversions and manufacturing for the Livery and Fleet Markets, announces that the Company has utilized a training Grant from the State of Missouri to increase efficiency and lower overhead costs. Implementing "Lean Manufacturing" processes and lowering overall manufacturing costs gives the Company a competitive advantage in the market.

By utilizing the Training Grant awarded to the Company, an independent team of efficiency experts was hired to help overhaul its production process at no cost to The Electric Car Company. The goal is to drastically reduce lead-time and mistakes while improving staffing for the job by reconfiguring traditional assembly lines into productive cells based on one-piece flow.

As a result several steps were taken. The Company has been able to reduce its full time assembly force from 30 down to 19. Any additional labor will be brought in on a job-by-job basis, which also saves on excessive overtime costs. Other areas have been streamlined such as the accounting, marketing and administrative staff that have been reduced by 50%.

The Company has also taken steps to ramp up sales by reducing the salary expense of its sales personnel while increasing the commission structure. This has proven to be very effective with the evidence of the increased sales and contract work brought into the Company in the first quarter of this year.

Mr. Gary Spaniak, CEO of Electric Car Company, Inc. stated, "By utilizing the programs offered by the state, we've been able to continue training at a minimal cost to the company." Mr. Spaniak continued by stating, "The staff is on board with it all. It's not only made us leaner, but it has made us stronger, as well."
