INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING.

Focus on people and the value-added activities of direct labor, indirect labor and equipment utilization. Understand what happens on the floor. Create a baseline for identifying key improvements—from equipment balancing to work methods and training. Prioritize upgrades to achieve proper staffing levels and process flows.

• work standards development/SOP's
• productivity improvement

FACILITIES/MASTER PLANNING AND DESIGN.

Identify opportunities for more efficient operations throughout your facility or in key areas. Target material handling and storage systems, workstation design, assembly line layout, new equipment specification.

• capacity planning
• material handling systems
• analysis/design
• workstation design
• packaging system design
• warehouse design
• capital planning
• project management/implementation support

LEAN MANUFACTURING DEVELOPMENT.

Implement improvements based on the lean philosophy of Toyota Production Systems. Schedule a three- or four-day Kaizen team event to focus on a specific manufacturing or office operation. Develop a plan to gradually improve production efficiencies, system capacity, inventory management, material flow, workplace organization, labor productivity or a production changeover.

• Kaizen events (5S, SMED, etc.)
• value-stream mapping
• training
