Deliverables<\/h2><\/div><\/div>
<\/div>
Together with the client, we developed and executed a six-step program:<\/p>\n

STEP 1<\/span>.
\nBaseline development<\/strong> for production capabilities and demand projections.<\/p>\n

STEP 2<\/span>.
\nSimulation and analysis<\/strong> of projected demand and plant production, current versus future requirements. As well, prepared investment analysis for equipment acquisition.<\/p>\n

STEP 3<\/span>.
\nWorkstation Designs<\/strong> for assembly and packaging, considering requirements for equipment, spacing and staffing.<\/p>\n

STEP 4<\/span>.
\nRaw materials and WIP <\/strong>designed two warehouses in support of production planning. The layout designs included new fixed and mobile equipment for space optimization (m2 and m3), as well as the positioning and use of the equiopment for optimal material flow.<\/p>\n

STEPS 5 AND 6<\/span>.
\nPlant design <\/strong>covering an optimum flow of operations from receiving of raw materials, production (placement of equipment) WIP warehousing, assembly stations, and a finished goods distribution center. All designs included a summary of requirements for production, fixed and mobile equipment.<\/p>\n

In addition to the six steps, in support of operational performances, we developed reference materials including design specifications, process mapping, execution of the operating model, and for human resources an outline of roles and responsibilities.<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″]
