Why MMI is the Best Choice

Experience: For more than 20 years MMI has designed, built and installed state of the art custom modular furniture all over the world. MMI has installed its systems in healthcare facilities around the globe.

Products: The systems were designed with pharmacy operations in mind. MMI set the standard in the way pharmacy casework is manufactured today with its SystaModule components. These modular units were designed by the University of Mississippi, Department of Pharmacy and Earl Swenson Architects to solve the need for pharmacy specific fixtures, as opposed to generically manufactured "off the shelf" products. Now MMI continues to challenge the market with new and innovative products that make the pharmacist more compatible with their environment.

Quality: MMI’s pharmacy casework is manufactured from the industries highest quality standards. We use state of the art CNC automated robotics to ensure accuracy to the 1/100 of an inch. All cabinets are assembled using doweled construction methods. The material is a wood product laminated inside and out, with any of the customers choices of Wilsonart, Formica or Pionite plastic laminates. Others will use a lower quality and less durable Melamine laminate on out of sight and inside shelving and other components. All edges are protected from utility cart impact and damage with replaceable "T" type moldings. All countertop outside corners are finished in a smooth rounded continuous finish to eliminate sharp edges and accidental injury to pharmacy personnel. Seamless, rounded inside corners eliminate potential breeding grounds for bacteria. All shelves above and below the counter are fitted with raised "T" molding retainers to prevent drugs from slipping off shelves. The customer can choose colors from any manufacturer of plastic laminates. MMI’s competitors limit the customer to a few pre-selected colors.

Modularity: Incorporates modular components that can be easily reconfigured, added to or deleted into a totally free standing , floor supported system. Requires no common side panels or supports, unlike others multiple parts assembly style construction. The modular units need not be anchored to walls or floors unless directed by seismic requirements or customers needs.

Design: MMI is the only pharmacy casework manufactured that is specifically designed to create a symbiotic relationship between efficiency and comfort, keeping physical stress levels at a minimum. It's an "anthropomorphic" design where form actually enhances function. Where form ensures the accessibility and efficiency of all pharmacy personnel regardless of physical size. The design of the unit levels the playing field for the efficiency of shorter individuals with that of taller individuals making it easier to reach drugs on higher shelves".

Electrical System: MMI uses factory installed prewired electrical system made up of components that are familiar with other electrical systems around the country. The system is a UL approved unit that looks good and does not require any additional installation in the field, reducing time of installation. The outlets colors can be selected by the facility to match existing components. If emergency power is used then the components can be designated to comply with the hospitals current codes. If the units need to be reconfigured in the future the electrical system simply follows the individual modular system.

Value Added Planning: At no cost to our customer, MMI brings pharmacy space planning to the table. Trends and practices change. MMI keeps up with the latest processes, often we help develop them. Our relationship with the industries thought leaders gives us access to other resources that are useful to our goals. We see what works and what doesn’t and bring the successes to the table for our customers. MMI has proven to reduce prescription filling time by more than 25% and distance traveled while filing prescriptions by 75%.

Customization: Regardless of size, dimension or shape, MMI manufactures custom cabinetry as required to fit the function or space. Only MMI can state that we build it in our own factory, (as opposed to others OEM approach) our own factory employed drivers deliver the product and our own factory employed installers with over 100 years combined experience do the installation.
