Our team provides comprehensive operations analyses for Manufacturing and Distribution clients in an effort to meet increased demand, improve customer turn-around, maximize area, improve workflow and reduce costs.
Extensive
Audit and Benchmark of Current Operations
A custom tailored audit, often lasting 5-10 days in a client’s location, provides the opportunity to document current conditions, identify opportunities for improvement, benchmark operations against key metrics for Lean and World Class facilities, and identify a game plan for implementation of Improvement Programs including Lean Manufacturing and Six Sigma.
Cost
Improvement Programs
Detailed study performed with manufacturing and distribution operations to reduce overall cost of manufacturing throughout the entire value stream. Programs include conceptual design through full project implementation.
Consolidation
/ Expansion / Relocation Studies
A detailed operational assessment is performed, including Return-On-Investment analysis for expansion, consolidation and relocation. Analyses are focused on cost improvements, relocation costs, and expectations for manufacturing efficiency, quality, logistics, and  performance. Use of automation, new equipment analysis and new procedure implementation is often a critical component of this study.

from a local
or global third-party vendor. Analysis focuses on cost, information, inventory,
