KMM Telecommunications, a privately held diversity firm, was established in 1991 to address the rapidly changing outside plant requirements of the Regional Bell Operating Companies. Built on a foundation of Quality, cost-effective service, the company has made its mark in the industry with innovative delivery services, Systems and Quality assurance programs.

Today, KMM has warehousing and cable cutting operations in Fredericksburg, Va.,  Harrison, NJ., Niles, MI., Wallingford, CT., Stockton, CA., Corona, CA., Decatur, GA, Bessemer, AL. and Groveland, FL.  Out of these seven active locations, KMM cuts and ships approximately 32,500 orders per year to primarily five customers: Verizon, BellSouth, Pacific Bell, SBC/SNET, and Ameritech. To the benefit of our customers, KMM maintains a strong relationship with a number of manufacturing partners (CSI/Belden, CommScope, BICC General, Lucent, OFS, Norcom, Pirelli, Siecor, Sumitomo, and Superior Essex). Through a combination of individualized service, a commitment to continual improvement of our core business (warehousing and cutting), and our strong industry relationships, KMM has positioned itself to be a high quality and competitively priced option for companies looking to outsource all or part of their material logistics operations.

In cable delivery, KMM has instituted various programs tailored to each individual customer's needs. Four hours, same day and next day deliveries are all currently part of KMM's repertoire. In addition, reel tracking is also in our current service offerings. Using a bar code tracking system, KMM is able to provide customers with total visibility as to reel disposition.

In the area of information systems, KMM has much to offer. The cornerstone of cable management is "C3", a module designed specifically for our industry and further customized by KMM. In addition to interfacing with our financial systems, "C3" monitors all inventory levels, in transits, WIP and scrap. Embedded with a reel optimization program, "C3" saves substantial dollars by reducing scrap levels. Built in links between our in-house software (Open Systems) and EDI software provides both customers and manufacturing partners with efficient transaction handling as well as on-line access to a wide array of information.

As for quality, KMM continually works with customers, via joint quality councils, to identify ways to drive costs out of business while continuing to provide top-notch products and service. A full time quality administrator is tasked with ensuring that training and education of our personnel is always current and compliant. The efforts expended in our quality program are evidenced by the low frequency of quality complaints by our end customers. Over the past year, KMM has shipped approximately 32,500 orders and received 8 quality complaints. Although we are proud of this accomplishment, we will not be totally satisfied until there are no complaints.

KMM will apply these same core strengths (delivery performance, operating efficiencies, and quality partnering) and facilities to support the material logistics functions associated with various products and services to current and new customers.
