Today, a manufacturing center is required to supply their customers with JIT (Just in Time) material delivery. Manufacturing Centers are also looking for ways to lower the inventory, improve the product flow and reduce in the amount of effort to design, build and ship. This is known as Lean Manufacturing. When material arrives at a manufacturing center and the proper tools are not in place to efficiently move this material to the proper work cell or raw material storage areas, shortages can occur. This affects the facilities ability to meet current demands of their customers and impacts the customers supply chain.

If we look at the issues that are being faced by many of the manufacturing operations today within the supply chain, they are basic. Long lead-time, handling containers from off shore shipping, and overstocking of off shore produced inventory are common problems. These problems are part of doing business in a world economy, and create the issues that need to be addressed in many manufacturing centers today.

When working with a client, we establish an understanding of the overall scope of work. After a review of the operations is completed, we deliver a priority list of problems or issues to be corrected.
